As far as I understand looks like this:
tiddler: Project1
- tiddler: Section 1 (standard)
- tiddler: Section 2a (standard but modified for project 1)
Project2
- Section 1 (standard)
- Section 2 (standard)
...

yes. I think you have found NotesPlugin[1] and commentsPlugin[2]
allready.
==snip copyTiddler and matchTags from tiddlytools===
I have no experience with those.

I have an idea for this:
The TW core has the newTiddler macro which is part of SidebarTools
tiddler. It can be modified like this:
<<newTiddler
label:"MyNewTiddler"
tag:"Tag1"
tag:"Tag2"
title:"YourTiddlerTitle"
accessKey:""
text:"someTxt"
>>
To pimp it a little bit, use:
Title: <<option txtTitle>>
Tag1: <<option txtTag1>>
Tag2: <<option txtTag2>>
<<newTiddler
label:"MyNewSection"
tag:{{config.options.txtTag1}}
tag:{{config.options.txtTag2}}
title:{{config.options.txtTitle}}
accessKey:""
text:{{store.getTiddlerText("PrototypeSectionOne")}}
>>
Explanation:
Title .. Title of the new Tiddler(Section)
Tag1.. eg: Project1
Tag2.. eg: backreference to Prototype
<<option txtTitle>> generates an input field that can be used by any
macro code. It will be referenced by config.options.txtTitle. The
variable name has to be uniqe.
<<newTiddler .. calls the macro
label:"MyNewSection" .. labels the button
tag:{{config.options.txtTag1}} .. tags the tiddler eg:ProjectX
tag:{{config.options.txtTag2}} .. eg: backreference
title:{{config.options.txtTitle}} .. title of the new tiddler
accessKey:"" .. doesn't work for me. firefox eats it
text:{{store.getTiddlerText("PrototypeSectionOne")}} .. reads the
content of the protoype Tiddler. This has to be adjusted according to
your needs.
>> .. don't forget the macro closing !!
more details see [3]
If you copy the
<<newTiddler ...
sveral times 20+ you will have 20+buttons and 3 input filds
eg:
ProjectX: (aka: Tag1)
Tag: (aka Tag2)
Title: ..
Define the ProjectName, Tag and Title
Click the buttons.
I thing it will be pretty fast
