What about an option for the user to have a merge of rc of meta and one local wikipedia ?
Same for [ watchlists ] ?
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.
