[sakai-pmc] Update on Stack Overflow sites

[Matthew Jones]

Yeah, agree. If anything, it's gotten my Stack Overflow reputation up to a
level where I can actually do stuff on the site. And there were 60
questions tagged with Sakai on the main site so far, a few of them pretty
good ones.

I don't think we'd have gotten through the second phase though, even
looking at a few other sites I'm backing at the moment and a few tags that
have thousands of questions in Stack OverFlow's main site.

I'd still encourage people to put and tag questions there though, as it's a
better long term knowlegebase than anything else we have at the moment.
