Hi Gilles,

Nope, nobody here at Mahara HQ is working on it. Kristina set it to "In
Progress" because she thought that you were already working on it. :)

I've assigned the bug to you for clarification.

Cheers,
Aaron

Title:
  Use SVG images and provide backward compatibility

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Suggestion by Gilles-Philippe Leblanc:

  In the Moodle software, the images are all managed by a cascade system.
  The function initially looking if a svg file exists, then a png, then gif, jpg and ico.

  This lets you use a svg file and maintain backward compatibility.

  The system also detects if the browser supports SVG. Generally, all
  browsers support this format except Internet Explorer 8 and below.

  Everything is cached to avoid unnecessary calculation.

  So I was wondering if it was planned to add the following components to do this:
  * A library for browser detection on the server side
  * A function to find the right file extension
  * A library for caching php
