I am posting here, because I couldn't find a Spec specific list.
Indeed spec is part of Pharo. So this is the right place to ask questions.

Two things:
  1. The colour scheme for all the code examples on the site seems to have gone very odd. The text is now a light blue/green on a white background. Almost completely illegible. Has someone changed a css file?
������ I do not know and we do not have access to this web site.

  1. I noticed in the news section that the license has changed to GPL, because of a disagreement with the direction of Pharo. ��Could someone explain what the disagreement was, and whether this is something we should be concerned about?

Hello andy

������ I'm sorry about this story. The pharo board (Tudor Girba, Sven van Cackenberghe, Esteban Lorenzano, Marcus Denker and me)
�������� will react officially this is problem. I'm in the board but I do not want that people think that I'm trying any action that would
������ be about personal nature, especially since I personally supported a lot Benjamin during all these years - and I do not understand
������ his sudden action. Now since this is out of my reach, I prefer to focus on making Pharo better and I'm working on that actively :)

������ I decided as one of Pharo founder to follow the board and let them handle this situation. I decided that I will not influence nor act
������ because I prefer to be in positive mindset and push Pharo further.
������ The board told me that they will clarify the situation, especially since there are actions that were not correct.
�������� I'm waiting as you for an official statement from the board, and I know that it will come and be really clear.
������ As you can imagine the board wants to do it right and settle it as an example for any future frameworks or part (Zinc, Glamour, Athens, TxText, ...)
������ that (will) compose Pharo.
������ We are setting an industrial consortium to push Pharo for real (As you can see in the report http://consortium.pharo.org/web?_s=DiSVVVKk3sFm2ouZ
������ Inria put 300 K euros not counting the salary of the permanent members of our team) and rules should be clear and followed.

������ Now the GPL license does not apply to the version of Spec that is available in the Pharo distribution since it is MIT from the beginning
������ and it will stay forever as it. We did not fork it. We are actively improving Spec. Some clean ups got already integrated and others are pending.
������ We will maintain and improve the Spec documentation too. For example we will probably add the part
������ written by Stefan Eggermont that was submitted but never integrated. I'm waiting just to avoid adding to the confusion.

������ You can find a version of the Spec documentation as part of the next book:
������ ���� �� ���� https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/Spec/Spec.pier.pdf
������ It may be not fully in par with the github repo but we will sync with Johan Fabry too in the future.

Cheers
Andy
