Hey, dear maintainer,
I have just finished developing and testing a Reference module, that generates a list of references at the bottom of the page, so your input is:
Some info http://www.source.com
Some more important info http://www.google.com
Other stuff!! http://www.mysite.com
and the output is:
Some info <1> (which links to source.com, with title=Source1)
Some more important info <2>
Other stuff!! <3>
Sources:
1. Source1 - http://www.source.com
2. Google Inc - http://www.google.com
3. * - http://www.mysite.com
My question is, should I just add this module to your project, or create a separate project for this? Considering that many people may not think that TweakBox would include it. Or can we do both, where it is included in tweakbox and as its own project??

Hi there,
well adding your module to tweakbox and creating a distinct project is not very wise in my opinion. Now including it here might be interesting, but I haven't really got a clear idea on the "future" of this very project. Actually, the name is also quite badlly chosen (at least as far as TOC is concerned, since it's just a filter, no real tweaking there).
The best thing to do, could be to create a set of filters containing TOC (revised probably, it truly needs some fixes, such as the teaser problem, etc.), your module, etc.

Perhaps we should rename it to something and create a new project and link that to this.
The name should be somewhat similar to "SimpleWiki Filters" it clearly states exactly what many people today are looking for in drupal. The Replacement tag's Wiki filter module, does not work for most people, and is pretty crappy I think.
I can make more filters for things that Wikipedia has, which Drupal should have.

Hmmm, not a bad idea this wiki thing. I had such a thing in mind last time I coded drupal stuff (that is, more than 6 months ago :S). Actually what I wanted was to be able to link to other nodes simply by keyword, like in wikipedia: [keyword] or [Some stuff|keyword] (or the other way around, can't recall).
I'm quite interested in doing such a filter set, so we could eventually join forces on this one. TOC could then be integrated into this wiki filter project and tweakbox could become a real tweaks toolset (I was planning to add support for choosing different teaser functions, based on node type, etc.).
Anyway, keep me posted on your views. I won't be available maybe starting next week (moving causes internet connectivity disruptions unfortunately :S), but it shouldn't take long before I get access.
