Re: Maia on centos 8

Thanks Brian,

There are a few of us left who don't want to see maia fade away. I haven't
found a better on-premises solution.

I haven't done php code in 10 years, but I'm about ready to take a swing at
it, out of necessity.

I wonder if maybe js and mongodb should be considered for the next
generation.

But for now, I guess I'll have to see if I can get php-7.2 talking to mysql
with the pear MDB2 modules, and go from there.
