# Iteration 6

## dating between 14th to the 25th of August

This iteration saw a lot of work on [tutorials.ubuntu.com](http://tutorials.ubuntu.com/) and on the migration of [design.ubuntu.com](http://design.ubuntu.com/) from WordPress to a fresh new Jekyll site project. Continued research and planning into the new [snapcraft.io](http://snapcraft.io/) site, with some beginnings of the development framework.

Vanilla Framework put a lot of emphasis into polishing the existing components and porting the old theme concept patterns into the code base.
