-Android application to participate in experiment crowdsourcing using public CK servers
+NEWS
+====
+* Upcoming CK presentation at [ARM TechCon'16 (Oct. 27)](http://schedule.armtechcon.com/session/know-your-workloads-design-more-efficient-systems);
+* ARM uses CK as a front-end for systematic and reproducible benchmarking and tuning of real workloads: [link](https://github.com/ctuning/ck-wa); 
+* We have moved related Open Science resources [here](http://github.com/ctuning/ck/wiki/Enabling-Open-Science);
 
-You can find it at [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=openscience.crowdsource.experiments]. 
-You can also see public program crowd-tuning results at [http://cknowledge.org/repo]!
+Introduction
+============
 
-More info to come!
+This CK-powered open-source Android application lets the community 
+participate in experiment crowdsourcing using their 
+mobile devices (mobile phones, tablets, IoT, etc)
+and exchange knowledge via public CK servers.
+
+You can download this app from the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=openscience.crowdsource.experiments). 
+
+You can also find public results at [Live CK repo](http://cknowledge.org/repo)!
+
+Current scenarios include multi-dimensional and multi-objective
+optimization of benchmarks and real workloads such as 
+GCC and LLVM multi-objective crowd-tuning (performance / code size / bugs).
+
+More information is available [here](http://cKnowledge.org/repo).
