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.
