The CloudNine plugin has been checked into code.sixapart.com in the mtplugins repository. Included with the plugin is a mtplugin.pkg file for use with Plugin Manager and update documentation in the plugin docs directory.

I'm working on some of the finishing touches on the latest CloudNine MovableType plugin. The focus of this release was simplicity because I felt like the 3.0 release added a lot of complexity with the addition of tag clouds. I also made a goal for myself to make it more xhtml+css friendly.
Instead of having seperate tag blocks for tag and category clouds there is one tag block called 'CloudNine'. By default it will create a tag cloud of the tags used on the blog, but by passing a 'type' argument you can easily switch to a category cloud, top tags (25) and recent tags.
In addition you can pass ' type="css" ' to create a clean css style that takes color settings from the plugin config.
I set up a forum, http://forum.socklabs.com/, for support and bugs. Please use it for all of your questions, bug reports and general discussion.
Recently SixApart has announced that Movable Type 3.3 is going to be released in the very near future. What this means for the CloudNine users is that version 3.0 of CloudNine will soon be available for you to use.
CloudNine 3.0, asside from having category support, comes with tag support to allow you to create keyword clouds from the tags that you've used on your blog entries.
Development on CloudNine was halted until the 3.3 release of Movable Type and now that it is available for the general public I'm really looking forward to getting feedback and feature requests for it.
