Respectfully disagreed re: change from meta to plain wikimedia.org
It would be of our convenience but other projects specially non-Wikipedia ones might be weakened their presence. As an invididual Wikiquotian, I'm afraid of that.

Such a solution would make it easier to fold separate wikis (such as a conference wiki) back into Meta when we were done with them, too.
Why fold them into meta afterwards rather than just use Meta from the beginning? Isn't the whole point of the proposal that we stop creating new wikis for everything?
Yes, we should start with integrating the most amenable material (ie the most stable/languishing material on side wikis) onto meta as a first step in the project.
Changing the url from meta.wikimedia.org to plain vanilla wikimedia.org would be one of the last steps, actually.
This should certainly be a multi-stage process, not something that's done all in one blow, but it would definitely be good to start a project for adapting new namespaces on meta soon.
