Re: Documenting setting up Maia under Ubuntu (UPDATE: PHP)

[Meant to send this to the list, but here y'are.]

I've been really busy of late with Best Buy deployments (and even more 
busy making sure I get home alive from the drive home from them since 
quite a few of them are quite far from home ;3) but I'll see what I can do.

I'm building up a new server now that my VPS host, BHost, has a presence 
in the US, so I'll take that time to build up some notes on this on my 
GitHub account.  When 16.04 comes out, I'll see how applicable said 
notes will be then, though at least one dependency will be satisfied 
(one of the IMAP PHP modules) will have a version that'll work when that 
time comes.
