I am trying to learn Spec (which seems to be a moving target), and I don't
know how all the various widgets and tools are supposed to work.

Given that there is a Spec-based UIPainter project as part of this years
Google Summer of Code (recently completed), I thought it would be a good
idea to check that out.  At the very least, I could poke around at the
generated code and get a handle on how it works.

Trying to load UIPainter (as per the instructions on
http://uipainter-gsoc.over-blog.com/how-to-install-it) into Pharo 2.0
yielded errors about UIPainter being dependent on certain Spec classes
which weren't available in Spec on Pharo 2.0.

The instructions do say Pharo 3.0, so I downloaded the latest image (as of
a few days ago), and tried again.  The same errors came up.

A search of the changelogs makes me thing that Pharo 30448 is the change
that likely broke this, as it's titled "Remove Morphic Dependency from
Spec" and removes a lot of Spec-Widget stuff.  This change was also made
after the "how to install" page was written.

So how should I proceed?  Should I grab image 30447 and work form that?
 Should I wait for Spec to stabilize and get documented?

I'm a newbie to Smalltalk and to Pharo, so I don't know the customs yet.
