 MATE SlackBuilds
 ================
 
-Coming soon!
+Here are some SlackBuild scripts to build and install the MATE desktop
+environment on Slackware.  Currently, they build and install MATE 1.5 which is
+the development branch of the upcoming 1.6 release, due at the end of March or
+early April, 2013.
+
+How to install:
+
+1.  Clone the Git repo or download a tarball/zip of the repo and then go into
+the 'base' directory.  Run the 'mate-build-base.sh' which will build and
+install all the base (required) packages.  There are a total of 26 packages
+and they do not replace any stock Slackware packages.  The SlackBuilds will
+use wget to download the sources.  Or, you can also manually download the
+sources from: http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/1.5/ and put each source
+into the corresponding directory within 'base'.
+
+2.  Optionally, go into the 'extra' directory and build and install any of the
+extra packages.  If you want to build and install them all, then you can use
+the 'mate-build-extra.sh' script.  Otherwise, just go into the directory of
+whatever package you want and run the SlackBuild.  As with 'base', each
+SlackBuild will download the source.
+
+3.  Once the base packages are built and installed, plus any from /extra, you
+can use 'xwmconfig' to select the mate session.  Or, if you use KDM, just log
+out and select MATE from the KDM session dialog.
+
+4.  Enjoy and let me know of any issues.  Thanks!
