+Overview
+========
+
+The eledmac package is for typesetting critical editions. The eledpar
+package is an extension of eledmac enabling parallel typesetting in
+columns or on facing pages.
+
+Eledmac and eledpar are successors of ledmac and ledpar. Ledmac was a
+LaTeX port, and extension, of the plain TeX EDMAC, TABMAC and EDSTANZA
+macros.
+
+The package is available on [CTAN](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/eledmac).

+
+Maïeul Rouquette is the only one maintainer. To help him in his work,
+please follow these rules:
+
+- Go to the [issues page](https://github.com/maieul/ledmac/issues).
+- Open *one issue for each problem*, even if problems are similar.
+- Add a [minimal working
+ example](http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=minxampl).
+- If your report is really a bug, Maïeul Rouquette will open a
+ "branch" to solve your problem. This branch will be called
+ "issueXXX", where "XXX" is the issue number.
+- Once the problem has a possible solution, Maïeul Rouquette will send
+ you a zip file and ask you to test it:
+ - Download the zip file of the branch (or, if you know Git, go to
+ the branch there):
+ - Go to [the project page](https://github.com/maieul/ledmac/).
+ - Choose the correct branch in the "branch" menu.
+ - Click on the cloud, in the right side.
+ - Run the `.ins` files with pdflatex, to obtain the `.sty` files.
+ - Put the `.sty` files with your test files (in the same folder).
+ - Make your report.
