Multisites with Shared Main Menu

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Currently I have a multisite installation of about 8 sites (sub directory multi sites - NOT subdomain). I am wondering what some thoughts are about implementing a shared menu. Essentially, I want the top level (primary links) to be each site and then the subsequent levels will pull the menu trees from the other sites.

I.e.

example.com
- test
- test 2
example.com/site1
- test 3
example.com/site2
- test 4
- test 5

Menu (all sites)
EXAMPLE | SITE 2 | SITE 3
test test 3 test 4
test 2 test 5

Any thoughts? I am thinking that the Menu Block and Menu Import modules will be necessary.

Thanks in advance!

it could be done probably using db_set_active, selecting the main site with the menu, display the menu, and then db_set_active('default') to let things as they were.

It is just theory, but i am having a similar problem, not in multisites, and I think it could work.
