I am proud to announce You that I've create a new project at Joomla forge: joomlacloud (link soon here)

A tag cloud (more traditionally known as a weighted list in the field of visual design) is a visual depiction of content tags used on a website. Often, more frequently used tags are depicted in a larger font or otherwise emphasized, while the displayed order is generally alphabetical. Thus both finding a tag by alphabet and by popularity is possible. Selecting a single tag within a tag cloud will generally lead to a collection of items that are associated with that tag. from WikiPedia

Features:

Css driven
Ablity to count words either in title, metadesc, subtitle, articles text,
Sorting results

This component is able to display in a graphical way a list of terms and present to the users...

What have to be done:

Implement a cache, counting and sorting words in a big site may be inaceptable in realtime...for my site it take 2s to create the tag clouds based on articles title...
Configurable script using a config file,
Finishing code to support relationnship like on this site (great idea by the way)
Create an admin panel,
Create a module,
Refactoring, refactoring, refactoring!

and what does it look like? see here for existing example and below for my running version :-)


using default Joomla articles database: 8 words found	www.waltercedric.com production database: 1780 words found
