Purpose Of a Tag Cloud
I just want to echo what others have said in the hope that you will reconsider your position. For many wikis (perhaps the majority of wikis as your data suggest) it may make sense to have the contributor cloud, but for other sites a tag cloud is clearly more useful. The students in my class have created the GoGreen resource guide (http://gogreenaresourceguide.wetpaint.com), a wiki where showing keywords is clearly superior to showing contributors, as there are simply too many resources to work into the navigation window and a tag cloud provides a meaningful way to navigate through them. It seems fairly obvious that the best approach would be to let administrators decide if they would like a contributor or a tag cloud (or both) rather than making the assumption that all wikis will be equally well served by one or the other. Using prior usage patterns to make decisions of this nature is an understandable approach, but will inevitably lead to a feature set that does not encourage new uses for the wikis. Tag clouds are relatively new for most people, and they are only starting to learn how to use them effectively. However, not allowing them to be added on the front page basically assures that they will not be used in the future, no matter how useful they might have been. I believe this thread makes it clear that there is a "vocal minority" that feel this is an important issue and have justifiable reasons for their beliefs. Perhaps you can take an approach that serves the majority and minority in this case rather than catering to the lowest common denominator.
