A downstream project is a one gets triggered after a "main" project is finished.

Say, I want to send some notifications after a main project is finished. Here is some hypothetical setup:

~/.sparky/projects/main/sparrowfile

bash "make && make install";

~/.sparky/projects/main/sparky.yaml

downstream: notify 

~/.sparky/projects/notify/sparrowfile

task-run "notify users", "irc-notify";

This allows more flexibility and simplicity in splitting projects by smaller chunks as well as reusing utility projects across many others.

Maybe https://github.com/melezhik/sparky#downstream-projects does not give a good example and we need to refine it ...

Cool, maybe it can solve #34

I'll probably leave it for awhile and maybe close it as I've made docs improvements ...
