Okay, crazy idea time:
What if we had the ability to include multiple wikis in the RecentChanges list? e.g., English AND meta and perhaps French and Esperanto wikipedias all together in one list? It would make my life more convenient, anyway.
Yes. Yes, it's madness, I know. Besides, I'd probably be the one who had to figure out how to make it work cleanly. (ugh)

What an excellent idea! However, we would probably have to set up user preferences a bit differently -- perhaps have options on which namespaces and/or languages to display in RecentChanges. If we do this craziness, then we should probably set the default NOT to show meta:namespace or its equivalent ("meta" is not very intuitive for me, and I'm not sure if it is the best name for the function it will serve) or any other languages beyond the user's/visitor's native one (which can be determined by them choosing their language on the Main Page).
