I took al fast look to Help:Djvu pages (with different names into different projects) in Commons:, en.source, fr.source; I found interesting suggestions about djvu files but I didn't find a detailed help about djvu text layer, nor about its manipulation. So, I imagine that such a page could be really written by scratch to share needed details. Where? What are your suggestions for its name? I found that wikisource.org has a poor setting of help pages; I presume that not so many users browse it; is perhaps Commons the best project to collect scripts, tricks, ideas?
I would say wikisource.org since DjVu are mainly used on WS (there are a few DjVuS outside WS but not many many, perhaps inside institutions). If you are interested by the DjVu, you can browse http://www.djvu.org/resources/, but DjVu specifications are quite unreadable. Briefly, there are many layers, whose text is one layer, there are also annotation layers, many layers for the image, etc. DjVu is really powerful but really badly documented. So if you write some documentation from scratch, it will be quite the first documentation readable (I thought some time ago write a wikibook about DjVuS but didn't done it).
