Right now, “cloud” supports text input, rss feed input and del.icio.us input. If you have any other ideas for sources like twitter name as input to find common words in tweets or inputting a csv or yaml file with words and numbers, or anything else, please feel free to add these. Parsing the source takes place in the initialize function of the WordCloud class.

Right now, “cloud” does the stupidest thing possible, and multiply the minimum font size with the number of word occurences to get the size of the word. I’d love to pull this process out so you can plug in your own word frequency algorithm. Maybe you want words that occur 1-3 time to have one size and words that occur more that 3 times to have another? Anyway, “cloud” should support doing things in your own way.
