    This is a topic very interesting to me, so much so that some friends and I recently released a plugin called Stream to track all logged-in user activity.
    http://wordpress.org/plugins/stream/

    One big aspect of the future plans for the plugin is support for Multisite, being able to view all activity across all blogs in a single Stream. Which is something I have yet to find in an activity tracking plugin.

    Thanks for bringing this topic to the limelight!
