david@thrale.com commentedMy first try at a module. I have benefited from help from so many other module authors, I thought I'd try to give something back (and I wanted this module too!). Feedback appreciated. I am not really a programmer - be gentle!

Thanks

avpadernoHello, and thanks for applying for a CVS account.
Why did you apply for a CVS account using a module that has the same purpose of a module already used for another CVS application?
As per requirements, the motivation message should be expanded to contain more features of the proposed project. For themes, it should include also a screenshot of the theme, and (when possible) a link to a working demo site using the proposed theme; for modules, it should include also a comparison with the existing solutions.

david@thrale.com commentedThanks for the comments kiamlaluno.
Because that was what I thought I had to do, after reading the information on Drupal.org. Are you saying that instead I should have appended my draft module to Jun's post? I'd be very happy to do that - is that what you are saying I should do?
I can't see how to edit the motivation message. I hope the below rewording assists ...
The module using javascript/Jquery and CSS, looks for text in the body of the node within a span with the class=pullquote. The CSS has no such class so the text within the span is displayed identically to the rest of the body text. However, the javascript/Jquery looks for every span with this class and when it finds it, it duplicates the text and appends an additional class 'pulledquote' to the cloned text.
The CSS, which users may modify to match their own site, then displays cloned text as a floated box, with stand out text - just like newspapers / magazines do.
This is quite different from traditional implementations, which require node authors to manually duplicate the text and surround with CSS. The advantages are, simpler mark-up (easier for less experienced editors; just one instance of text which is better for screen readers, RSS etc
The module does not use edit the database and there are no other features. This module is in effect a Drupal implementation of http://css-tricks.com/better-pull-quotes/.
The following forum messages all seem to be looking for such a solution...

I have not found a similar module out there.
I hope this is clearer. Any more thoughts?

avpadernoWe don't review two different applications for modules that have the same purpose.
If Jun's application is approved, then yours would be declined because the module you propose is duplicating the work done in an existing project.
In the case Jun's application is declined, then your application has chances to get approved; still, if you apply for a CVS account with a module that has the same purpose of the module proposed by another applicant, your application needs to be postponed until the first application gets approved (or not).
