As a general rule, one should expect no-one to care about anything new you happen to be working on. Consider: if people cared, it would be done already. The only worthwhile, achievable things that aren't already done are the things that people don't care about - through ignorance, or some other barrier that can be eliminated by persuasion and demonstration (usually much more the former than the latter).
Take my latest side-project:
From a sympathetic audience of thousands who read my other related work, persuading even a handful of people to help Open Cures in any way is real challenge. This is the way of the world: if people cared and agreed and were up for it at first glance, it would be done already.
So expect the long uphill fight. It says nothing about the merits of what you're doing; it just is.
