Commandline tools used
WGET/ to download elements existing online.
We used it to download Homocore zine.
MOGRIFY/ to resize, blur , crop, flip (…) an image.
TESSERACT/ to OCR documents.
[OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition and it is used to convert different types of documents (like scanned paper documents) into a digital (and so into editable & searchable ) format. The program analyzes the structure of the document and divides the page into elements like blocks of texts, tables, images (…).The lines are divided into words and then - into characters. Once the characters have been singled out, the program compares them with a set of pattern images.]
tesseract filename.inputformat filename.outputformat
If the output format is not specified it will be a txt file.
PDFUNITE/ to join PDFs.
In our case it has been useful because of its ability of keeping the searchability of the documents already OCRed.

PREMISE:/ Static Websites & Dynamic Websites
STATIC WEB PAGES are simple and written in the HTML language and stored in web server. Whenever an server receives a request regarding a web page, it sends a response along with the requested web page to the client without performing any additional processing. In a static web page the content of the web page does not change depending on the request.
DYNAMIC WEB PAGES are behavioural and have the capacity to produce distinctive content for different visitors. (They are employed where the information changes very often such as stock prices, weather information ecc.). The page content may change according to the user.
