+I've been using Linux for many years at home & at school and I've also helped other users in need. :) I have also absolved multiple !Unix/Linux courses on the university.
 
 === Python ===
+I use Python for all my projects and would say than I'm quite well versed in it already. :)
 
 === GUI toolkits ===
 
 ==== GTK ====
+The classic modRana GUI is based on Cairo & GTK. It is still the main GUI on the Maemo 5 Fremantle platform and on the desktop and I'm still maintaining it and adding new features. 
 
 ==== Qt & QML ====
+As most new mobile Linux devices don't suport GTK at all, I've also started working on an alternative modRana GUI based on Qt & QML. The QML GUI is currently the main GUI for Harmattan. ModRana supports GUI module selection at startup, so it is possible to run both on the same device. :)
+
+Al my other end-user applications use Qt & QML for their GUIs.
+
 
 ==== Clutter ====
+When I started working on Mieru, QML was no where it is now, so I've used Clutter for it's GUI. While not the default GUI any more, I still maintain it and it used as a fallback in case the QML GUI is not available for some reason.
 
 === Packaging ===
+The first packaging format I got into contact with was Ipkg, while working on modRana packages for the Neo !FreeRunner open source smartphone.
+
+Then I've learned how to do Doebin packaging and have written automated packaging scripts for publishing modRana & Mieru to the Maemo repositories.
+
+And I've added OBS to my workflow for Harmattan packaging. I've also used OBS for my GTK & PyGTK port for Harmattan. And recently I've helped to include !PySide packages to the main Nemo library OBS project.
+
+I'm currently learning RPM packaging, so that I can create Nemo & Jolla (once released) packages of my applications.
+
+On a related Note to packaging, my application hosted in the Nokia store already got more than 17 thousand downloads while downloads.maemo.org list more than 470 thousand downloads for modRana. :)
 
 === GIT ===
+I really like GIT and I'm using it to manage the code of all my projects. My [https://github.com/M4rtinK Github repository list] is getting quite long lately. :)
+
+=== Wiki ===
+I'm using the wiki on modrana.org to document modRana and my work on it and I've also contributed to the Maemo.org & OpenStreetMap Wikis with articles about my projects & related matters.
 
 === Localization ===
+My experience with localization started after merging localization support patches from a German developer to Mieru. Since then I've written the Czech Mieru localization, created a Mieru translation project on Transifex and written some scripts that automate translation updates from/to Transifex.
+
+The ease of use Transifex certainly helped to attract translators. As a result, Mieru has been so far translated to 8 languages, including for example Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian or Finnish.
