is it possible to tell this to some reporters, who might let more ppl know about U++?

Realistically (after 3 years of experience), it is not that simple. There are myriads of open source projects out there, it is hard to convince the media that exactly this one needs more attention.

Media likes a good story - you need to provide a reason.

You can however submit a good articles about U++, but somebody has to write them like Matt did a year ago:

but unfortunately, people capable of doing this are mostly busy with developing U++ or other projects...

Anyway, for upcoming release, a good story is that the new U++ Core beats all other solutions (STL, D language) in speed by quite a large margin (e.g. 4 faster than STL/GCC). It would be definitely worth to come with good benchmark of this - that could be a nice story... Wink
