folk music/traditional songs etc.
Does IMSLP want the contributors to upload also traditional music which is in the public domain, or is this project focused on classical music only? I think of old songs and instrumental music of the different countries.
Actually, I welcome *any* music 
There have already been many folk songs submitted... for example:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Folk_Songs%2C_German (though I never knew it lived for 95 years... haha)
The reason that IMSLP is classical-music-heavy is because most public domain scores are of classical music, and I myself only have good knowledge of classical music, unfortunately :/
P.S. There have also been requests for jazz music, which I would very much welcome, except that I don't have much knowledge in that area... so someone else would have to pick it up if we are to have jazz music on IMSLP.
