Yes, that's the general plan. :) But it brings up a question that we decided to wait before implementing so we could ask everyone...
Currently, we have the MediaWiki:NavLinks article which populates 4 links into the header area. We're also taking monobook's sidebar and populating the contents of that into the right nav area. My guess would be that the 4 links you'd want in the header are already in the monobook sidebar and the result would be 4 duplicate links. One solution to this is to create another MediaWiki article that would be the equivalent of monobook sidebar but only for the v2 skin... then you could avoid duplicate links. Downside is two lists to maintain. Thoughts? Thanks, John Q.
