Doesn't create node [#720030]

I'm wondering if I'm doing something really wrong here...
I installed nodequeue node module and was assuming that it would create a node based on the nodqueue I created. Is that what this module does? If it is supposed to, it doesn't seem to work. I created a new nodequeue and there isn't any content under the nodequeue node content type. Am I doing something wrong?

I was hoping to use this module to create a node when a nodequeue is made. Ideally it would be able to autopopulate the node with some data from the nodequeue:
nodequeue title => nodequeue node title
"nodequeue_" + qid => portfolio body
Would this be possible with this module?

Using nodequeue 6.x-2.5

Thanks!

I'm really confused about this module and hoping you can shed some light on it for me. It seems like it doesn't create a node in the classic sense of a node. I can't seem to find anything that it creates anywhere. I'm wanting to just create a regular node everytime a new nodequeue is formed. My nodequeues only have one subqueue each, so it could also be linked to when a new subqueue is made. It seems from the description of the module that this is exactly what this does, but I can't get it to work. Is this not exactly what it does?

The module won't automatically create the node for you, rather it lets you create a node that "owns" the nodequeue (after the nodequeue was created), and, using Views, display first the content of that node and then the content of the queue - in a way this allows the creation of metadata for nodequeues (technically subqueues)

See #471732: Use cases for a description of the use cases for this module.

I think what you are (by now it's probably "were") looking for might be implementable with the Rules module. Sorry for taking such a ridiculously long time to reply.
