I suggest you add the request to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages but until there is a policy for whether or not these can be created, the requests are likely to just keep mounting up.

Yes, I've already done that. It's supposed to be part of the standard procedure for setting up a Wiki.

A proposed policy is at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy_for_wikis_in_new_languages

Yes, I read that. I also read the current policy on the same page which states that any new wiki can be created upon request by a developer.

Do you know if any other people are interested in contributing to this wiki?

:See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages for currently interested parties. And I would be surprised if there aren't more. I held off making this request until there were a reasonable number of registered Scottish contributors to the English Wikipedia, otherwise I would have made it in 2002. I expect several of them to sign up. We have had a small but steady response on the Gaelic Wikipedia with 55,000 speakers. I would expect more on the Scots with 1.5 million speakers.

Cheers

Derek
