==== Description: ====
The bigfoot bundle has been created to deal with challenges of critical
edition typesetting in LaTeX.  It's core package bigfoot provides a large
batch of functionality focused on high-quality typesetting of multiple
footnote apparatus.

Additional packages include perpage (management of counters that reset per
page and/or are reordered to match their appearance order), and suffix (for
defining command variants indicated with special letters).


==== Other Software Required: ====
Requires TeX/LaTeX as it consists of LaTeX packages.


==== Other Comments: ====
I would need a Git repository for hosting development.  Previously, the
package was hosted on the Indian Free Software site sarovar.org on CVS, but
the site has been discontinued.  History is somewhat messed-up, I am currently
trying to arrive at a clean Git repository locally.

After arriving there, I'd like the project repo to be available to interested
parties.  There is not much ongoing development expected, but it would be good
to have the public be able to access what is there.
