Getting involved
There are two major ways to get involved in the diagrams community and find out what is going on:
- The IRC channel (
on freenode.org) is fairly active and a good place to interact with other diagrams users and developers. (Be patient: sometimes no one is watching the channel, but if you say something or ask a question, you can be sure that someone will eventually see it and respond.) - The mailing list is the place to stay up-to-date with announcements, and also a good place to ask questions, especially longer or more involved ones.
Getting the sources
All the core diagrams code can be found in the diagrams organization on github.
If you don't already know how to work with repositories hosted on github, take a look at some introductory material like this book about git and this github tutorial and this interactive tutorial-game-thingy. The hub utility is an optional but recommended tool for simplifying common tasks involving github. The mr utility is an optional tool for simplifying tasks involving multiple git repositories.
Choosing a project
If you would like to begin contributing to the diagrams project but are not sure where to start, here are a few resources that may be helpful:
- The Trello board for diagrams has lots of ideas for projects, todos, and gives a snapshot of what various people are working on.
- Take a look at the issue trackers for repositories in the diagrams organization on github, especially those for the diagrams-core, diagrams-lib, diagrams-contrib, and diagrams-doc repositories.
- See the projects page for a list of ongoing bigger projects to get involved with, or new projects to start.
- Don't hesitate to ask for ideas on the mailing list or IRC channel.
Best practices
Getting the code
To begin, you will need a github account, and to fork and clone some of the diagrams repositories. See here for help on how to fork a repo. At a minimum, you will need the following repositories:
as well as a backend, such as:
If you do not plan to make any modifications to the code in a certain repo, you may clone it directly instead of first forking on github and then cloning from your fork, for example
git clone https://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-core
or, using hub, simply
hub clone diagrams/diagrams-core
(In fact, hub makes it easy to later convert a direct clone into your own fork if you wish, via the hub fork
command; see the hub documentation for more information.)
Or save this file as ~/.mrconfig, and run `mr update` to checkout all of the recommended repositories.
It's recommended to use some sort of sandboxing tool while working on diagrams. Because diagrams consists of several separate packages, using cabal-dev can be something of a pain. Instead, we recommend using hsenv. cabal-sandbox also works well, except for diagrams-doc.
In any case, there is an important trick for building multiple local packages at once that you should know, which works with cabal as well as cabal-dev. Instead of installing each package one at a time, simply go up to the parent directory and issue a command such as
cabal install monoid-extras/ dual-tree/ diagrams-core/ diagrams-lib/ diagrams-cairo/ diagrams-contrib/
The trailing slashes tell cabal to install packages from local directories, rather than trying to download packages from Hackage. In addition, it doesn't even matter in what order you list the directories; cabal will figure out the correct order based on dependencies.
Cabal Sandbox
Most likely, you will want to use a single sandbox for all your diagrams work, so you don't need to rebuild packages when you switch from one package to another. The simplest way to get started is to make the sandbox in the parent directory, and call all cabal commands from there:
cd diagrams cabal sandbox init cabal install core/ lib/ contrib/ svg/
At some point you may want to use other cabal commands (eg, build, haddock), or just want the convenience of calling cabal from inside a particular package directory. This command points cabal at the shared sandbox:
cd diagrams/core cabal sandbox init --sandbox=../.cabal-sandbox
After doing this, any future cabal commands in diagrams/core will use the shared sandbox.
Making changes
Now that you have your cloned/forked repositories and know how to build them, go ahead and make some edits. You can see what changes you've made using the git diff
command, stage certain changes with git add
(try the -p
flag!), and create a commit from staged changes with git commit
For coding style, see Johan Tibell's Haskell style guide.
You are also encouraged to update the diagrams user manual in parallel with any changes you make; see the diagrams-doc repository.
Submitting a pull request
Once you have a set of commits you are happy with, push them to your forked repository on github and open a pull request. At this point your code will be reviewed by someone with push access to the repository. They may very well leave some comments; feel free to respond with comments of your own.
If any errors are pointed out, changes requested, etc., simply make some new commits and push them to your forked repo. There is no need to create another pull request; any newly pushed commits will be automatically added to the existing pull request.
Pull requests and topic branches
The important thing to realize about pull requests is that they do not correspond to a particular set of commits, but to a branch. In particular, you add new commits to a pull request simply by pushing to the branch which the pull request is from. This has some interesting implications:
- If you are going to be working on multiple features/bug fixes at once---or even if you just want to be able to get started on a new feature while your previous one is still undergoing review---it is best to create a "topic branch" for each feature, rather than making all your changes on your "master" branch. You can create a new branch called
withgit branch foo
; see all branches withgit branch
; and switch between branches usinggit checkout
. - Once your pull request is merged, you can delete the branch, using
git branch -d foo
for the branch in your local repo, and something likegit push origin --delete foo
for a remote repo namedorigin
. - Another interesting point is that there's not necessarily any reason to wait until you are "done" to open a pull request. Just make sure you state that the feature is "in progess", and then you can get useful early feedback as you continue to work on the feature and push more commits. Of course, branches/pull requests also make for a nice way to work on a new feature collaboratively.
Keeping up to date
It can be a bit tedious to make sure you have all the latest changes to diagrams across a dozen git repos. The mr tool automates this process. If you did not use mr to check out the repositories, first inform mr of the repos as follows:
- checkout all the repositories with a common parent directory, as above
- in each checkout, run
mr register
To pull changes, run mr update
from the common parent directory.

It's very easy, and not at all inaccurate, to divide dramatic series television into two eras: before Hill Street Blues — which has just been released on DVD in its entirety for the first time -- and after. Before NBC televised Hill Streetin 1981, most continuing drama series were presented as stand-alone, interchangeable hours starring the same characters. Every week, TV detectives Joe Mannix or Theo Kojak or Tony Baretta would investigate a crime, catch the villains and wait for next week to do it again. But Hill Streetborrowed from daytime soap operas and presented sequential storylines, which carried over from week to week.
There were other innovations, too. Instead of one or two central stars, Hill Streetfeatured a large ensemble cast. Camerawork was often hand-held and frantic, more like a documentary. Dialogue overlapped and sounded natural, as in a Robert Altman movie. Scenes of intense drama sometimes were followed by moments of broad humor. And the crimes themselves, and the solving of them, usually took a back seat to the private lives of the cops, officers and lawyers who populated the show.
In other words, Hill Street Bluessounds like almost every excellent drama series that's on your must-watch list today. But back then it broke new ground, although it took a year and a batch of Emmy Awards before it caught on. Before that, the show had a much tougher time getting viewers accustomed to its unusual narrative style. As series co-creator Steven Bochco says in one of the extras in this new box set, Hill Street Bluestested "through the floor."
But from the very beginning, it was wonderful. Daniel J. Travanti starred as Capt. Frank Furillo, a recovering alcoholic who ran a squad of inner-city cops who had plenty of problems of their own. Veronica Hamel played public defender Joyce Davenport, his secret girlfriend, and theirs was one of the most mature and sexy relationships on TV at the time. The more time viewers spent with these characters, the more they liked them. And that certainly went for Michael Conrad as Sgt. Phil Esterhaus, who opened that first show — and every show for a few seasons thereafter — by presiding over morning roll call at the precinct and concluding with the same sincere warning: "Let's be careful out there."
By issuing this complete series box set, Shout Factory has given TV fans a chance to revisit, or discover, a major turning point in television history. MTM Enterprises, which until then was known primarily for sitcoms like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, began to dominate drama as well. NBC eventually used Hill Streetas a building block for its original Thursday night must-see TV lineup. Producer Bochco went on to L.A. Law,and Hill Streetwriter-producer David Milch went on to NYPD Blueand Deadwood.
The most fun in seeing these episodes now — episodes that originally ran from 1981 to 1987 — is in recognizing a ridiculous number of now-familiar faces. Not just the leads, which included future NYPD Bluestar Dennis Franz in two different roles, but the guest stars and bit players too, from Jonathan Banks and Frances McDormand to Jeffrey Tambor and David Caruso. And there are the box set's extras, too, which include some very nice touches, including Bochco's story about the show's distinctive theme song by Mike Post.
It's really hard for me to accept that it's been more than 30 years since Hill Street Bluespremiered — especially since, as a work of television, it still holds up so well. It's a terrific box set; so good and so entertaining it makes me hungry for another. Where, oh where, is the complete box set of another MTM classic, St. Elsewhere?

Maps takes a whole new turn
Beautifully designed from the ground up (and the sky down), Maps changes the way you see the world. Map elements are vector based, so graphics and text are incredibly detailed --- even when you zoom all the way in --- and panning is smooth. Tilt and rotate to view an area, and Maps keeps the names of streets and places where they belong. Get visual and spoken turn-by-turn navigation and real-time traffic updates. Even soar over cityscapes to see the sights from the air in amazing, high-resolution quality.
Siri. Sports. Restaurants. Movies. Now ask even more of Siri
With iOS 6, Siri understands more languages and works in more countries.2 So you can get more things done in more places around the world. Want to know the latest scores and stats for your favorite teams and players? Thanks to iOS 6, Siri knows the answers. Or maybe it's movie night. Siri can show you the latest reviews and showtimes and help you purchase tickets. Find the best restaurants in town and make reservations. Even have Siri open your apps for you --- no tapping required. Say "Launch Flight Tracker" or "Open Angry Birds" and Siri does just that. You can also use Siri to post Facebook updates and tweet for you.
Facebook. Integrated throughout iOS. You'll definitely like it.
Now it's easier than ever to interact with the world's largest social network. And there's no need to leave your app to do it. Share a photo to Facebook right from Camera or Photos. Post your location right from Maps. Brag about a high score right from Game Center. If you have your hands full, just ask Siri to post for you. You need to sign in to Facebook only once, and you'll be off and sharing. Never miss another birthday or get-together, since Facebook events are integrated into Calendar. And your Facebook friends' profile information is integrated into Contacts, so when they update an email address or phone number you automatically stay up to date. Now that's something to post about.
Share select photos with a select audience.
Now you can share just the photos you want, with just the people you choose. Simply select photos from the Photos app, tap the Share button, choose who you want to share your photos with, and they're on their way. Friends using iCloud on an iOS 6 device or a Mac running Mountain Lion get the photos delivered immediately in the Photos app or iPhoto. You can even view Shared Photo Streams on Apple TV. If the folks you're sharing with aren't using an Apple device, they can view your photos on the web. People can like individual photos and make comments. And you can share as much as you want: Your Shared Photo Streams don't count against your iCloud storage, and they work over Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
Passbook. Just the ticket. And the boarding pass, card and coupon.
Passbook keeps your boarding passes, loyalty cards, retail coupons, movie tickets, and more all in one place --- on your iPhone or iPod touch. No worrying about misplaced printouts. Or rifling through your wallet at checkout. Just open Passbook and tap the pass you need. The barcode on the pass is scanned, and just like that, you've checked in for a flight, earned loyalty points, or redeemed a coupon. You can add passes to Passbook through apps, Mail messages, and websites from participating airlines, stores, theaters, and more. You can also see when your coupons expire, where your concert seats are, and the balance left on that all-important coffee bar card. Wake your iPhone or iPod touch, and passes appear on your Lock screen at the appropriate time and place --- like when you reach the airport or walk into the store to redeem your gift card or coupon. And if your gate changes after you've checked in for your flight, Passbook will even alert you to make sure you're not relaxing in the wrong terminal.
FaceTime. Look who's talking. Over cellular.
FaceTime now works over cellular networks as well as Wi-Fi, so you can make and receive FaceTime calls wherever you happen to be.3 You can even make and receive FaceTime calls on your iPad using your phone number. That means you can use FaceTime wherever you are, on any device. And never miss another wink, smile, air kiss, or eye roll.
Phone. Send to voicemail. Reply with message. Remind me later. It's your call.
iOS 6 adds new calling features to your iPhone. Now when you decline an incoming call, you can instantly reply with a text message or set a callback reminder. And when things are just too hectic, turn on Do Not Disturb and you won't be bothered by anyone --- except can't-miss contacts like your boss or your better half.
Mail. An even better email experience. Delivered.
Redesigned with a more streamlined interface for easier reading and writing, Mail in iOS 6 lets you set up a VIP list so you'll never miss an important message from your accountant, your boss, or your BFF. It's even easier to add photos and videos to email messages. And to refresh your mailboxes, all you have to do is swipe down.
Safari. Browsing is just the beginning.
iOS 6 brings even better web browsing to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud Tabs keeps track of which pages you have open on your devices, so you can start browsing on one device and pick up right where you left off, on whatever device is handy. Safari now saves web pages --- not just links --- in your Reading List, so you can catch up on your reading even when you can't connect to the Internet.4 And when you're posting a photo or video to eBay, Craigslist, or another site, you can take photos and video --- or choose from your Camera Roll --- without leaving Safari. When you really want to see the whole picture, turn your iPhone or iPod touch to landscape and tap the full-screen icon to view web pages without distractions.
Accessibility. iOS 6 comes with Guided Access.
iOS 6 comes with even more features to make it easier for people with vision, hearing, learning, and mobility disabilities to get the most from their iOS devices. Guided Access helps students with disabilities such as autism remain on task and focused on content. It allows a parent, teacher, or administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen. VoiceOver, the revolutionary screen reader for blind and low-vision users, is now integrated with Maps, AssistiveTouch, and Zoom. And Apple is working with top manufacturers to introduce Made for iPhone hearing aids that will deliver a power-efficient, high-quality digital audio experience.
Camera with Panorama. Broaden your horizons.
The new panorama feature for iPhone and iPod touch lets you capture everything from a momentous family reunion photo to a sweeping vista.6 With one simple motion you can shoot up to 240 degrees --- even vertically, to get that redwood tree, say. Then hardware and software work together to create one seamless, high-resolution panorama.
