Hi Aaron, it's great that someone's working on this - it's a much
needed improvement.
I was messing around with watchlist header ideas recently, and found
it looked quite good to have notices in a floating box off to the
right, so they're separated from the actual options. Never did try
actually implementing it, but thought it might be helpful.
Would also be happy to beta test whatever you come up with.

Hello MediaWiki Developers,
I will be working on improving the watchlist feature in MediaWiki this
summer for GSoC. For the initial scope of my project, I'm aiming to
concurrently add grouping to watchlists, while improving the UI as
recommended in the Visual Watchlist thread (
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/61151
).
This week, I'll begin by testing ways to make the watchlist options box
collapsible/not take up as much space. (So far, I've created one patch that
uses the mw-collapsible class - any better ideas?) I will also begin
modifying RecentChangesLine to provide the # of chars added & removed, not
just the net change amount (this leads up to the keystone feature of the
visual watchlist.) I'm also looking for beta testers for the improved UI,
so please reply back if you are interested.
Thanks,
Aaron Pramana
