[Building Sakai] Get All Sites

[Noah Botimer]

This is probably a bit outdated, since I forgot to send it along...

There is also a new getUserSites method on SiteService as of KNL-1011. This is not yet in 2.9.x, but we are planning to put it into 2.9.3 upon some further validation. 

The new method simplifies the interface some since getSites is quite complex. It also does some caching for performance. Please note that it is only for the current user, though, so it will be wrong for some needs.

Thanks,
-Noah
