Hello Mike!
A few thoughts on this.
Most other frameworks used to feature a single user blog together with a screen cast showing off how easy one can build applications with that specific system.
This one can be put together pretty fast, but it is an old hat as of now.

I think screen casts - even short ones that feature just one specific task would bring a lot of attention to Qcodo.
These can be brought to attention to a few web2.0 plattforms.

Sounds like a brilliant idea!
What do you think about a multiuser bloggingsystem that aggregates on a frontpage?
Admin
Moderators for Commentary and setting up blogs
People that can blog
Commentary
Voting of blogposts
Multilanguage
This functionality is the basis for anything like a generic Digg, or Twitter, or Wordpress Multiuser, or Onlinemagazine. And this is what most people intend to build..
Authentification, templates and formatting could be taken from the Qcodo.com branch which is a timesaver.
When an experient architect makes a layout with basic functions for a system like this probably people will adapt and enhance it until this is a real application that could finally be distributed like Wordpress.
On the way many developers will find a good starting point.
The previously available demos where no real applications. They showed only one concept like QQuery but there was still no starting point for someone who wanted to build a bigger system. People had to learn a lot first before being able to make a layout that was suitable for a growing application.
This would fill the gap.
I think of “Meta Applications” that can be installed via package manager instead of “demos”. These could be a key to success and gain traction on their own.
Cheers,
