While I agree on principle, it can be more than difficult to merge sister projects at this point of time. Wiktionary, wikibook, and wikisource and so on have very different users. Some of them even dread the idea of belonging to Wikipedia. Cross-project colaboration must be encouraged, yes, but placing all of them in one wiki won't make things better in principle.
However, small not cared projects should be joined. Those without a visible community after some talking with the only existing editor(many wikisources and wiktionaries) could be merged as to foster the develop of those projects.
Yep, I wasn't suggesting merging Wiktionary and Wikisource into Wikipedia. But we don't need new wikis for cross-project collaboration or outreach: we have Meta, so use it!
