+Who uses librsvg?
+-----------------
+
+Librsvg is part of the [GNOME platform][platform]. Inside GNOME,
+librsvg takes multiple roles:
+
+* Loads SVGs from the generic gdk-pixbuf loader infrastructure, so any
+ application which uses gdk-pixbuf can load SVGs as if they were
+ raster images.
+
+* Loads SVG icons for the desktop.
+
+* Creates SVG thumbnails for the file manager.
+
+* Loads SVGs within GNOME's default image viewer, Eye of Gnome.
+
+Outside of GNOME's core:
+
+* GNOME games (chess, five-or-more, etc. to draw game pieces)
+
+* GIMP
+
+* GCompris
+
+* Claws-mail
+
+* Darktable
+
+* Mate-panel
+
+* Evas/Enlightenment
+
+* Emacs
+
+* ImageMagick
+
+* Wikipedia, to render SVGs as raster images for old browsers.
+ *Special thanks to Wikimedia for providing excellent bug reports.*
