Yes, I have upload layout of the keyboard at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NetGKB_Layout.png

Also available at http://gujarati-component.googlecode.com/files/netGKB.zip

*How much different from InScript ?
-> It is different from InScript. It is used in Gujarat from many times, when
computers are not used for typing. And old typewriters are used. And till now,
the keyboard layout is using in many places like government offices for writing
into gujarati using non-unicode font, unicode too. And thus it should be keep.

I had installed MediaWiki with Narayam Extension in my Computer (Windows 7)
using EasyPHP software. Other Extension like WikiEditor works properly, but the
Narayam Extension does not work. I had configure LocalSettings.php which is
described in Extension:Narayam. But it does not work. I want to test
gu-typewriter.js and others some things, but I could not do the thing. How can
run Narayam Extension in my local server, help me.
