Daniel van Vugt, I am in the process of collecting, compiling, testing
and reporting.

The initial plan is to generate a comprehensive list of all of the
plugins with detailed information about each one of them like:

1. Where do I get it from (source). (Usually currently unsupported plug-ins are on gitweb.compiz.org)
2. Does it compile and work (with latest versions of Unity/Compiz on Precise) ?
3. If there are any issues with it, what exactly are those issues ?
4. Provide screenshots of all the settings of the plug-in in CCSM (CompizConfigSettingsManager).
5. Provide additional information about the plug-in like possible improvements or compiler warnings.

Sam Spilsbury, I understand that each additional plug-in that is made
"official" or part of the original distribution also means additional
stuff to maintain, but many of the currently unsupported plug-ins are
also very useful and fully working with the latest version of Compiz
(0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1-vvpreproposed2)/Unity (5.12.0) on Precise, and I am
sure users would be happy to be able to get and use them without a
hassle like git cloning and compiling from source.

Once I finished collecting all those points for each missing plug-in
(reports about all of them are already filed), I will summarize
everything and report here.

P.S.: Great work on Compiz, btw. - I am using it since 0.7 (?) versions on multiple machines and I've never seen a Compiz that stable and useful before (even with all the additional plug-ins I have up and running here ;)). GREAT JOB !!!
