+Ion is a tiling (no overlapping windows) window manager that also has
+PWM-style tabbed frames which can contain multiple client windows. These
+features help to keep windows organized and to switch quickly between them.
+Ion was designed primarily as an efficient and unobtrusive window manager
+for users who prefer the keyboard.
+
+This is the latest stable release of Ion (3). A pwm3 binary is built
+too, which starts Ion with floating workspaces as the default, thus replacing
+the PWM window manager.
+
+ion-3 needs lua, which is also available from SlackBuilds.org. If you have
+installed lua on your own, the binary might be stored under /usr/local/bin
+or any other destination you have specified.
+However, if lua is not located under /usr/bin, either change the LUABINDIR
+variable in the SlackBuild script or run the SlackBuild script with
+the following command:
+ LUABINDIR="PATH_TO_BIN_DIRECTORY" ./ion.SlackBuild
