I have more or less translated the page. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Creating_a_DjVu_file
I am surprised that this page is focused on MS-Windows and proprietary software. It addresses trivial questions of opening and saving file in different format to convert them in a very typical Microsoft way :
"Tiff files from Gallica can be opened in FineReader (even after the evaluation period is over). By exporting the pages into tiff (same format), it is possible to crop the margins with XnView."
We might want to write something more rational.

Hello all,

Someone else commented on the VP that we have no documentation on DjVu which I found to be true, from how to create DJvu files, to how to use them in MediaWiki. I had a look on mediawiki.org and couldn't find anything too useful either. So any hints here would be appreciated.
We already have that in French on French Wikisource. http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Aide:Cr%C3%A9er_un_fichier_DjVu It just needs to be copied to Commons and translated. And there is a {{djvu}} template.
cheers, Brianna
