Hi,

I am not sure if you guys have ever heard of GlitterGallery. It is a git hosting website (yeah! yet another one). Instead of code view, we show image view of your git repo. I was putting together last feature before maintainers of the project went completely unresponsive (I am a contributor). I need your help in deciding something, cause in the end you guys will be using it.

I am using annotorious to implement image annotation. You can have an idea of how it would work, here. For annotations to persist on page reload, I need to store complete img tag in database. This means that img tag has to be as small as possible. Closest solution was that I change blob of image (blob is kinda like string equivalent of your image. This is what get stored in your git repo) to an image file. However, support to change blob to file seems to broken for svg in rmagic (check #226). I can get around this if I change svg files to png.

I wanted to ask, if I serve your svg files as png, can you guys roll with it? I won't be tampering with your repo, I will be just serving your svg files as png on our website.
If anyone would like to discuss implementation details, they are welcome here: #309

Thank you,
Aditya
