1) Setting up a fresh copy of pi-base requires some knowledge about postgres; now it is much easier to get up to speed, as some typical commands are explained for creating an appropriate user and database. 2) Included a section how to become admin in pi-base. 3) Included a section on updating Cabal to the required version (that was still necessary on Ubuntu 14.04)

Awesome. This is the kind of stuff that's easy for me to overlook but (I hope) hugely helpful for newcomers to the project that may have more math background than code experience. Thanks for this!
