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).
