I checked Sicilian's recent changes: in the last 7 days there are contributions from 1 registered user and two IP addresses. The first is someone from Australia, the other two are from USA providers. It seems that no one from Sicily is editing those pages, and I'm betting that it will continue that way.
PS my name is typically sicilian, since my family comes from there. This doesn't mean that I know even how to write a word of Sicilian... read aloud maybe, but not write.

Caru Alfiu,
Giuseppe d'Angelo is a Sicilian expat in Australia, Audralina is a Sicilian girl born in New York, and I'm not sure about Antonino Russo. Among other recently-inactive editors there are Alessio Patti, who is actually in Sicily I believe, and a couple of others.
I have invited a couple of Sicilians from it.wikipedia to contribute to the Sicilian Wikipedia but so far I have produced no results.
Currently, the Sicilian Wikipedia is being discussed extensively at the forum "linguasiciliana", and although it has attracted the interest of many, so far only a few have actually contributed.

I'm not surprised that few people want to contribute, but I wish the Sicilian wikipedia good luck anyway :-)

He does? Well, either way he speaks Sicilian and is of full Sicilian ancestry.
I'm pretty sure Antonino Russo is actually in Sicily, and I know many others from linguasiciliana that are interested definitely reside in Sicily.
It's not that few people want to contribute, it's that Wikipedia is apparently difficult for them to understand how to use, and about twice as many people appear to want to help with it as actually edit it, however Pippu is trying to fix that.
