cool. It looks like it still requires some java code though.
Excellent! Thanks for this.
Attach stuff to JIRA (as you don't have commit access to SVN ...
yet....).

Yes that would be great and would allow to package it in xwiki's

I didn't see your email below (was it sent to
the list?).
Yup!
The notion of tag is not something known to XWiki
core. Currently
tags are only known at the level of the default wiki so we should
probably put the tag cloud code there. As your code below requires
some logic, maybe the best is to use Groovy to replace the Java
part. You could then have everything located on a single page.
Mmm. Okay, I went with what Guillaume suggested, and made a xar and
jar out of it, and contributed it as a plugin: http://www.xwiki.org/
xwiki/bin/view/Code/TagCloud
But I do see your point about eliminating the java-side of this.
The logic isn't that hard to implement as a groovy script or
velocity macro, I guess. The next
question is: a Panel or a Page?
I'm tempted to say both. I think we should include the tag cloud
in the Main.Tags page and we could provide a Panel too.
WDYT?
Well, if it were only a page (or a "snippet"?) it might be easier
for people to include it wherever they want, including in panels?
But you guys more familiar with the level of expertise and mode of
use amongst the xwiki masses, so I leave this for you to decide :-)
Also, I agree with Sergiu that it would be better if the font size
would be calculated relatively to the number of ocurrences. Good
thinking!
I have created a jira issue for this:
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1311
I just did an update there. Would you be interested in working on this and
finishing this?
Sure! If so, could you please attach the result to that
JIRA issue for
inclusion in SVN?
I'm not sure I understood this. Do you want me to commit stuff to
svn, or attach stuff to the JIRA issue? Thanks for the enthusiasm on this! I have a couple of
thoughts on
how tags currently behave in xwiki, but I'll try to write a
separate email on that subject a bit later.
Thanks to you. We do need to improve tagging in xwiki. One thing we
need is the ability to tag a page without having to go in edit mode.
There are also some ideas here: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/
XWIKI-523
