I must admit that I have a few thesis orphans. I didn't think them this way that they are my children. But in some sense, they are! I am feeling a bit ashamed.
it is unfortunate the there is little motivation to publish thesis projects to a wider audience. not to blame the authors here, because that is how the system works. exceptions require extraordinary effort or extrinsic motivation.
one project i am working with got a grant that was conditioned on the project being published as open source. it motivated the developers/researchers to reach out to the wider community and even package the project for a linux distribution. that's how i was able to find out about it. i got involved and i am still using it 20 years later. but without that grant this likely would not have happened.
