imagemagick is probably the easiest way to do this. If you have real research, why not just make a PDF with latex and post on arXiv? That's certainly KISS, and you don't have to worry about hosting.

No weird programs to install, low server load, etc. On Sun, Mar 4, 2012 at 10:17 PM, Michele Comitini <michele.comit...@gmail.com> wrote: > Steven, > > > Video) > there are plenty those two are a good power/features compromise: > http://www.kdenlive.org/features > http://www.kinodv.org/article/static/2 > > Web Authoring) > You need 3 things: > a) an editor > b) a web framework > c [optional]) a css + javascript framework > > a) I would suggest to stay away from complex visual editors ala > frontpage any such tool put constraints on creativity and becomes > obsolete.
