We (ICS - a fairly strong proponent of Motif ;-) )
also share your frustration that "New" by definition is somehow always equated
to "better". Believe it or not, we would be willing to help out promoting
lesstif successes (you may have noticed that we publish news of new releases of
lesstif on the MotifZone). Our motives are fairly obvious, since we make our
money selling development tools for Motif and lesstif, the more applications
using Motif API the better!
We can help in proving press contacts outside of
the traditional Linux media. Certainly the MotifZone would be available, but
that is not going to expand the community.
In addition to trying to get the attention of the
open source community, you might look for "success" stories that would be
attractive to more traditional media. See the latest issue (April) of Linux
Journal and look in the "Up Front" section. There, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit
- i.e., the San Francisco Bay subway system) replaced their Sun systems with
Linux boxes to control the electrical grid of the subway. They looked at GTK
& QT, rejected them and chose Motif. (A more detailed version of the article
is at http://www.ics.com/bart
