I've built a Tell a Friend module for D6 and would like to contribute it to the community. I have more modules I have written that are eligible for release to the community in the near future as well, along with ideas for new modules and ideas/additions/patches for existing modules.

This is a module to let users tell their friends about the current website. Supports multiple email addresses, multiple screens, email checks, custom subject & message and Twitter functionality.

Working version can now be found at http://www.vergaderlocatiespecialist.nl

Screenshots included.

What makes this module different/better than the already existing modules?

Searching for "Tell a friend" shows up 16 modules, some of them might already do what your module does. You might want to consider working on one of these modules.

This module is not maintained/available anymore; http://drupal.org/project/socialtwist-taf
This module is abonded due to a security issue that isn't fixed; http://drupal.org/project/tellafriend
This module is kind of similar, but doesn't provide functionality to change the subject & message text; http://drupal.org/project/spread
And this module comes close, but is aimed towards sharing of specific nodes, or content types and not so much sharing a certain site through a link; http://drupal.org/project/tellafriend_node

The other 12 modules found with a 'tell a friend' search are not tell a friend modules. On top of that, this module allows you to set a default subject, a default text, an optional captcha and integrates with Colorbox.

I'll also make a D7 version asap.

Sorry but then I found this: http://drupal.org/project/forward and I think it's pretty good for me now.

tell_a_friend.page.inc contains hard-coded HTML and makes explicit reference to $_POST, that is bad. You should be using Drupal's menu callback system, Form API, and template rendering system. Setting back to needs work because fundamental Drupal APIs are not being used.

Also, if you wanted you could take over the tellafriend module http://drupal.org/project/tellafriend It can be re-opened and there is someone who has provided a patch for the security issue #810434: Potential Patch for SA-CONTRIB-2010-052
