It seems to me that this module does almost exactly the same thing as Type-local nids, http://drupal.org/project/type_local_nids
If I'm right there could reasons for the maintainers to have a chat. If I'm wrong I'd be glad to have the differences between the modules pointed out.

A similar issue is posted in the Type-local issue queue: http://drupal.org/node/895446

1. The Serial Field module provides a CCK field.
2. ID allocation by Serial Field is atomic (i.e. the same ID cannot be issued to more than one node).

Modules are really different!

Type-local nids does not provide a storage and performs as sequencer for each node type - storage used just to store Current value per Node type
Serial is a Field (#1 desribes) provides a storage for The Value per Node

Both modules implements own tokens

PS: Please post this on module's front page

PPS: Suppose it's better to join forces in front of upcoming Drupal 7 core

+1 for clarifying the relation/commonness/differences between "Serial Field" and "Type-local nid" on their front pages!
