First, "cool demo stage" is already a pretty good stage.
Second, I'd like to point out a very successful OSS project not unlike
GNU Radio & the USRP: the Arduino.
By itself, it's useless--it's a hardware/software development tool.
Sounds familiar?
If you read sites like hackaday.com, the Arduino comes up *all the
time* with posts like "Look what X did with an Arduino". On this
specific site, GNU Radio comes up 3 times, the newest article being from
February 2009.
Some coverage of cool hacks using GNU Radio certainly wouldn't hurt the
project.

PS: Anyone who gets a GNU Radio related post on hackaday get invited to
dinner by me, redeemable at the pre-WSR meeting.
