+biblatex-ext - Extended biblatex standard styles
+================================================
+
+The `biblatex-ext` bundle provides styles that slightly extend the standard
+styles that ship with `biblatex`. The styles offered in this bundle provide
+a simple interface to change some of the stylistic decisions made in the
+standard styles. At the same time they stay as close to their standard
+counterparts as possible, so that most customisation methods can be applied
+here as well.
+
+The main motivation was to offer `biblatex` styles that place the editor of
+`@incollection` works before the `booktitle`, yet remain close to the standard
+styles in overall look and feel and customisability. The code adjustments
+required for this are not particularly complicated once you get the hang of it,
+but a stable and clean solution requires a rewrite of the bibliography driver,
+easily amassing hundred lines of code in the preamble. Some contributed styles
+already place the editor before the `booktitle` (`biblatex-apa` comes to mind),
+but you may not want to buy into all the other changes that come with choosing
+one of them. Styles written for the sole purpose of following a particular
+style guide are not always easily modified and may have to go to great lengths
+to implement the requirements of the style guide.
+The styles of this bundle are intended to be a solid base for further
+customisations.
+
+`biblatex-ext` has an extended version `ext-<style>` for each of `biblatex`'s
+standard styles.
