If you look at the last questions of this guy: http://stackoverflow.com/users/1906070/shiran?tab=questions you can see that they are about smalltalk/squeak and asked in last 2 days :). In fact I think that we should support asking questions on SO, as a lot of people are anxious to register and talk to others on mailing list, and prefer to search for solutions on SO. If we’ll build reasonable amount of Q/A data, it can be easier for other people to start with Pharo.
However the questions should be better than these last few. This asker looks like a beginner learning and I think would be better off with a tutorial which is not supported by Stack Overflow. I suspect by asking several questions in a short time they are likely to be stopped from asking questions for a bit - there is a rate limit as people who ask lots of questions tend to have poor questions are are wanting the answerers to do their work - in this case the asker is asking OK questions but that is not what we normally see in Stack Overflow (see PHP questions for what the SO system has to deal with and see that even at beginner level Smalltalkers seem to at least know how to ask questions better than for other languages.)
You can create a good question and answer it yourself if you want to document/show something.
Yes, there is some activity on SO and also interesting content over there. I find it a bit complicated to find about Pharo/Smalltalk questions in an easy way. Searching by tag (Pharo) gives a list of old questions. How do you get the last questions in an easy way?
I create favourites on tags e.g. smalltalk pharo etc. Then when you login to Stack Overflow click on one of these tags Note these last few questions were tagged smalltalk and squeak not pharo
There is a newest tab: https://space.zeo.net/g/54ma0/YYDRJUBFXB7NVBG7LMXTNECCQVWXWL3K
That is not a stack overflow page.
Also you can subscribe to a tag and be notified by email.
I am and these questions have not shown up yet - they tend to take a day to come through
