I want to allow a single project to generate multiple "books" of documentation, so we can separate user-facing documentation from technical documentation and such.
Generalize the ".divinerconfig" file into a "diviner book" configuration file.
Since only the "generate" workflow actually reads any of this stuff, move it all down into the generate workflow.
Also, namespace the cache.

Tighten the Phabricator support policy from "we will help with literally anything for free" to "we will help with anything for free, except unreproducible fishing expeditions".
This is not the right policy in the long term (in some form, I expect the level of free support will decrease, and, e.g., I won't be offering to drive to your place and fix your stuff), but this class of issue is by far the worst and most pressing and I want to stop dealing with fishing expeditions like this one right now, since I hate supporting them and they're a disproportionately huge waste of time:

There are some okay answers ("commandeer") but I think the best answer is "don't do that". Add a document explaining how development works at Facebook (and many other companies) without the use of feature branching, why it's better, and how you can lay the technical groundwork you need to to stop doing this.

Long term we'll probably delete timeline and move to webhooks, since everyone who has asked about this stuff has been eager to trade away the durability and ordering of the timeline for the ease of use of webhooks. There's also no reason to timeline this anymore since parsing is no longer order-dependent.
