Well, I have already mentioned several times in the past that, in the
medium term, we should merge all the Wikipedias, or perhaps even all
the Wikimedia projects, into one database, so that users can have
*ONE* account, *ONE* watchlist and *ONE* set of preferences. Then it
would be a very small step to allow Recent Changes filtered by
project/language.
As much as I support the idea of a unified log-in and account, I would
be hesitant about having a unified database. Of course any attempt to
unify databases should not take place until all projects, including the
English Wikipedia have been converted to Unicode.
I prefer to look at the watch lists separately, because each project
tends to approach things differently. Some people would indeed like to
have combined watchlists, and they should have that option, but it
should not be the default for everybody.
We should also be able to have different preferences. I use different
combinations of side-bars and skins as a way of knowing which project I
happen to be in at any given time.
