Hi Lourdes Epstein. Thank you for revising the proposal. We have a few questions below and look forward to your responses.

1. I checked out the project page from last year and your commons categories. The musical recordings in this category are wonderful and very clear.
2. What were some of the main learnings from last year that you will be integrating into this year's project?
3. Last year 7 recordings were uploaded. How many do you expect to upload this year? Do you have a list of related articles to create/improve based on the recordings?
4. We understand you would like to have Diego Torres present to provide technical advice regarding the recording of folk music. It sounds like last year's recordings were also folk music. Did you have a similar advisor for that project?

Thanks! Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 22:19, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

1. Thank very much
2. The main learning we had relates to the urgent need to nourish the cultural community around us. We have to develop an understanding of mutual gain between all parties. And the university must be seen as an open lab for many cultural enterprises. So we decided this year to contact other music groups, less known but more willing to participate, so the can work the whole week with students to build a learning community. Because of limited time and the great amount of work that music recording/editing requires, there is no chance to work on Wikipedia articles. The goal is to add files to appropriate Wikipedia articles that already exist. This was done in pages such as https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_Jarocho   (It was also in the English language article but has since been removed, we don't understand why).
3. Yes, Diego Torres is helping us also this year. We are also working with FONOTECA (national music archive).

Thanks

Project withdrawn

As discussed over email, due to the recent earthquakes in Mexico, this project has been directly impacted and is halted until further notice. For now I will mark this proposal 'Withdrawn,' but you may re-open this request at any time, once circumstances are more favorable to carry out this project. Contact us at any time at rapidgrantswikimedia.org. We wish you the best in the recovery efforts, and hope to resume working with you soon. Best, Morgan Jue (WMF) (talk) 23:48, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
