DjVu is a open file format which used to easy digitizing in english wikisource. Unfortunately there is no good OCR support for Indian Languages. It's need to type the text manually. but we can use that djvu indexing method for effective collaborative digitizing task. In indian wikisources This technique is not effectively using.
