+1)  Slackware still ships the old 0.8.8 release of compiz that was 
+    released back in 2011.  The project has recently been picked up
+    and is being actively maintained by the compiz-reloaded team.  
+    You can still use the 0.8.8 version of the compiz that ships 
+    with Slackware with the companion packages since there has not been 
+    any ABI changes to the code. But there is a good chance you will run 
+    into stabilty issues if you do, so it is HIGHLY recommended you use 
+    the version of compiz that matches the companion packages.  Because 
+    you will be replacing a stock Slackware package the SlackBuild is 
+    not hosted at www.slackbuilds.org.  You can download the SlackBuild 
+    from the link below.
+
+    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85079539/compiz-0.8.12.3-SlackBuild.tar.gz
+
+    This SlackBuild is based off the 14.2 stock Slackware SlackBuild so you 
+    shouldn't run into any problems. If you do use this version of compiz you 
+    will need to blacklist compiz in your /etc/slackpkg/blacklist file to keep
+    slackpkg from reverting the package back to 0.8.8
+
+2)  Compiz now has basic support for the MATE desktop.  You will have to install 
+    MATE before you install compiz for support.  The MATE slackware project 
+    website is located here https://mateslackbuilds.github.io/
+
+3)  The compizconfig-backend-kconfig4 package has been removed from the 
+    project so if you are upgrading from a previous version you will want 
+    to remove this package.  Also compiz-plugins-unsupported has now been
+    renamed to compiz-plugins-experimental so you will need to remove 
+    compiz-plugins-unsupported before you upgrade to the newest packages.
+
+4)  The install order has compiz listed twice.  libcompizconfig depends 
+    on compiz, but compiz has some extra window decorator related features
+    that depend on libcompizconfig.  So if you want these extra features you
+    will have to recompile compiz again AFTER you build and install 
+    libcompizconfig.  This is not required it is just an option if you want
+    to do it.  
+
+5)  After you install compiz and the companion packages you will need to 
+    launch CCSM and enable "Move", "Resize Window", and "Window Decorations"
+    before you start compiz.  This way you can manage your windows.  After
+    you enable those three options you can start compiz and customize to    
+    your liking.
