I see in your proposal that there is a native speaker who may be
interested, as well.
Although I'd have no problems with starting that Wikipedia right now,
the general community seems to require 2 native speakers (!)... not
really nessecary to start a good Wikipedia, but at the same time, you
could have a "dead" Wikipedia with 50 native speakers.
Anyhow, I think people would pay more attention to the request if:
1) Start a test-wiki at meta
2) Find more native speakers to support it
3) Give a bit less information in the proposal on meta -- information
is good, but that much of it is a little much for people to swim
through in a list like that.
4) At the same time, give more information in other areas -- would the
Wikipedia cover Dgernesiais, Sertchais (?), and perhaps even
Continental Norman, as well as Jerriais? While they are certainly
closely related, I'm not sure a Dgernesiais speaker would be of
reading articles in Jerriais, with "th" in places they think are
weird.
Cheers

you were asking if I spoke Dgèrnésiais, a related dialect), though I can
read it at an advanced level. I do have enough ability with the language to
teach basic Jèrriais to anyone who is interested in learning.
(Miché-Forêt is my name in Jèrriais. Call me either)

Do you speak Djeriais?
