Actually I've come to realize yesterday that this parameter is not enough, I'd like to see a "scope" parameter in addition, to be able to say {{activity scope='space' /}} to have activity for just the current space

This is the recent changes macro based on the current implementation (not the activity stream one), but the idea is that we'll rewrite it to display recent activity in the future. I will commit it for the moment, in the 2.6 trunk, as is, but I would like to discuss here the name of the macro and its parameters: >>> Macro name: >>> recentchanges, changes, activity, recentactivity >> +1 for "activity" to be in line with the upcoming recent activity feature > planned for 2.6. >> >> No need for "recent", "activity" is enough.
