Where where you figuring on displaying said list, boardindex, a block in WD, or sidebar?
Well, right now, the recent posts item is solely in the sidebar, and that's partly why I want to move it into a plugin, because I feel more comfortable doing bizarre things like supplying multiple templates and options to it as a plugin.

If it does become a plugin, I'd make the sidebar and board index (and welcome page, that's another story) into options.

As far as WD-recent-tickets goes, it would have the options of sidebar, board index (and welcome page) and at the top or bottom of the list of tickets in WD, or possibly anywhere else I end up making available.

OK, so I've pulled out the recent posts into its own little plugin and given it, sort of, the ability to order by topic except it's currently doing it wrong, gah.

It's not just as simple as shoving a group-by in there :(

OK, just as a heads-up, I've rewritten it as a plugin to use 2/3 queries (there's one query to get message ids in recent posts, one to get message ids in recent topics, and one to get the actual data, and it seems to be faster now, too) so I've also committed the removal of the rest of it and will drop the plugin into the repo shortly.

Not sure exactly what I want to do with it just yet but the fact it's a plugin makes it much easier to do magicalness with.
