Yes, this is clearly something that needs to be done :-) Would it be
best to have a drop down that lets you select the project? I think
jumbling them all together would make things a bit less interesting.

Awesome!
Followed by the obligatory "Could you please also ...." ;-)
In this case the dots stand for "add pages other Wikipedia wikis, ideally
also for other sister projects?"
All data are in the same file you use already.
Best, Erik Zachte

I imagine something like this has already been done before, but I thought I
would mention it as a curiosity:
Wikitrends
http://inkdroid.org/wikitrends/
Wikitrends is a display of the top 25 view articles on English Wikipedia in
the latest hour. It relies on stats that Wikimedia make available [1]. If
you hover over the article you should get the article summary (courtesy of
the MediaWiki API), and there are canned search links of realtime Google and
Twitter and Facebook search if you want to look at what people might be
saying about the topic.
I put the code up on Github [2] and wrote a brief blog entry about the
process of putting the app together. The punchline that I was trying to work
up to is that it is truly wonderful that Wikimedia makes an effort to make
its data assets available on the Web, both via an API and as bulk downloads.
It is a great role model for other organizations and institutions.
Thanks!
