Hi Aubrey Unfortunately I , myself on board in Wikimedia Chapter ( Executive committee Member!). Personally I am very much attached with Wikimedia movement in India. Actually that's not a big deal.
I follow the below workflow... 1) Download books from Digital Library of India ( single page single tif file). 2) Upload as PDF (You can put them in a zipped file and upload everything on Internet Archive with the namefile "FILENAME_images.zip". Then the software will do everything by itself. This is good for me.) Let's try next time. But when I upload as PDF , I cannot find any DJVU file. 3)Transfer file in commons. https://toolserver.org/~tpt/iaUploadBot/step1.php this utility is only for upload DJVU file. ( If I upload "FILENAME_images.zip" at archive.org, Are they converted as DJVU?)
