This document outlines a plan to build a new GUI framework in Pharo called Spec 2, which will include new layouts, widgets, integration with Commander v2, and dynamic presenters. It proposes building a demo tool to browse flags in the system and discusses improving the API, style management, simplifying dynamic widgets, and providing documentation. The document notes that Spec 1 and 2 can coexist, with Spec 2 classes prefixed with "Sp", and outlines automatic migration between the two.
