Can anyone summarise the hangout discussion? The high level goal of footnotes is to make a little bit of additional info available to the few readers who need it, without interrupting the flow of other readers. In a web/computer screen context having notes show up at the bottom of the "page" doesn't make sense, especially where scrolling might be required.
Popups are a more familiar solution; I personally don't much like them but that shouldn't rule them out as the best way to do footnotes in a TW. If i were doing it for something other than tiddlywiki I might suggest that clicking the reference marker could a sort of horizontal page split to show the footnote content -- like iOS folders used to do (demo in JS here: http://jsfiddle.net/SDp5y/ ) or like the Brackets editor splits a source file to edit a colour or something (e.g. the screenshot at http://brackets.io/ ). Anyway it's easy to fiddle around with the exact right way to show footnote content, what's more important is getting the information model and wiki markup right first.
