The Internet Archive developed a djvu book reader in html/javascript http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader
It looks like this >> http://www.archive.org/stream/birdbookillustra00reedrich
There are many websites that are using it, so I was wondering if we could use it in Commons too? Would it take much effort to adapt the server side? https://github.com/openlibrary/bookreader
Cheers, Micru
Taking a quick peek...
http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader ^ open source, under AGPLv3. License probably ok for embedding, but maybe not linking directly into MediaWiki. Licensing is hard. :)
However, it doesn't seem to directly support DjVu -- it's a wrapper around extracted image files and some additional metadata, from what I can see. If going from a DjVu source file, I assume they're extracting page images similarly to what we do in our viewer.
I would certainly recommend we take some user interface ideas through, our multi-paged image view desperately needs improvement!

@Brion: The incompatibility was only for AGPLv2, but now combining a AGPLv3 work with another that is GPLv3 should be ok: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGPLv3#Compatibility_with_the_GPL
@Magnus: Great tool, indeed :) Any chance to have it as a MW extension? :)
