Earlier in December, I wrote that I was just getting started with a
few questions, and everything with Cerberus has gone well since then.

Today I realized that I want to be notified (via the "publisher") of
successful builds, even if the previous build was successful. I want
this so I can be sure the CI is actually still running without
problems.

I browsed the source code, and found the method that seems to specify
which updates to send when (Utils#interpret_state). Once I understood
how that works, I realized there is already a configuration option for
this behavior! Which works great.

So, I'm contributing an update to the FAQ, below! (I would commit to
Github, if you allow "outside" or "beginning user" committers on your
project.)

Cheers,
Matt

Glad you've found Cerberus helpful so far, and thanks for the FAQ
addition. I'll put it up on the website later today.

We accept contributions from everyone, no matter what the level of
previous contribution so don't hesitate to submit any kind of patch or
GitHub pull requests in the future.

Thanks again,

Craig
