Well, i think i'm misunderstanding this module's goals since i was expecting to have two main features using it, a user's personal tag cloud and one for the single node with all the given tags for that node.
I've already asked about the first one and that's not provided by this module but then i thought it should have been easy to show a community tag cloud for the single node.
It was, indeed, but then i realized that it was not only a tag cloud, but the complete form to add tags so that the anonymous user or simply whoever lacking the tagging permission would not have seen even the contained tag cloud.
I must say this isn't what i was expecting but the real issue is that i don't get the point in this behaviour:
tags are a semantic way to browse a website's content, they are a different way offered to a visitor to find contents basing on a personal interest, why should we prevent them to use such a feature just because we decided not to grant them the permission to add and edit that tags?
I've tried to figure out a different way to manage this, but i wasn't unable to find a good one since i've worked with views and it seems we can't use the tagadelic views module or simply count the terms recurrence in order to generate a tag cloud starting from a views query, the same reason why we can't have a tag cloud for the single user's tags.
i know i could simply print the normal tags array but that's the deafult drupal behaviour so i wouldn't be really using the powerful user's relationship of the community tags leading us to have weighted tags basing on counting how many user's tagged a content in the same way.
I have to say that this deadly reduces my chance to use this module usefully but i could be wrong, i could be missing something so that's why i'm writing this,
is there any way to print a community tag cloud inside a node regardless of permissions about adding or editing the community tags vocabulary terms?
Thanks,
Da.

true!
when using the tagadelic tag-cloud the size does not on how many users have used this tag.
+1 for this feature (tag-cloud for each node - also visible for anonymous users)

These are some key issues you get at. Right now the module supports on a very specific use case.... and unfortunately it is becoming outdated very quickly. What we need is 1) Remove Tagadelic Dependence 2) Expand API and 3) Expand configuration options.
Will get to these as time permits, will also test and accept patches towards this end, and of course we are still looking for another co-mantainer :)
