Why are J-people trying to get the world to pay attention to J? J is so good, it would be better to keep it a secret. In the history of maths, new techniques for things like extracting roots were kept secret. Wasn't Pythagoras the leader of a secret mathematical cult? Lets establish a secret guild, we could call ourselves Iversonians. We would refuse to let people know about our secrets, until they are initiated. People would be curious about the secret of the Iversonians. It might attract more attention than any other method of publicising J. The one word description would be "secret".
