Sure, but I'd argue the real task is integrating the bits (like
say SQLObject + Quixote + ...), documenting the heck of out the
integrated package, writing tutorials, and packaging the whole
thing so it's easy to pick up and easy to deploy your web apps.  
Then market the heck out of it like Ruby on Rails is doing.

So, basically, it's product design and usability analysis more
than marketing that is the problem right now.
