+Overview
+========
+
+The reledmac package is for typesetting critical editions. The reledpar
+package is an extension of reledmac enabling parallel typesetting in
+columns or on facing pages.
+
+Reledmac and reledpar are successors of eledmac and eledpar, which were
+successor 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/reledmac).

+Debug and feature requests
+==========================
+
+Suggestions and bug reports are welcome.
+
+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.
+- You can write in English, or better in French if it is your native
+ language.
+- 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 ask
+ you to test the new branch:
+ - 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.
+ - Choose "Download zip" in the "Clone or download" menu, on
+ the right side.
+ - Unzip the file
+ - Run the `.ins` files with pdflatex, to obtain the `.sty` files.
+ - Put the `.sty` files with your test files (in the same folder).
+ - Look on file issueXXX.tex get a MWE of the new feature.
+ - Make your report.
