To add to what Mickael had said, please see the awesome wiki in nasquadah.org. it has a section devoted to installing awesome on Gnome 3. Take care to create the session files else you will not see the session in the login manager drop down.
All of us will help but expect you to read documentation out there and try what has been written before asking for help.
