In Pune in February I created the first usable version of a transliteration
layout. Since then it was tested by several Punjabi speakers. They pointed out
some problems, so I committed several improvements to the layout and documented
it [1]
I received more positive feedback after that - some in the email and some on my
talk page [1]. We now have confirmation that the transliteration layout is
usable.
In fact, it's better than the current local JavaScript solution that the
Punjabi Wikipedia uses for two reasons:
1. It cannot be turned off, so Latin letters cannot be typed! (I try not to use
exclamation marks in bug reports, but this is a really big problem.)
2. It lacks some common Gurmukhi characters; see, for example, the userpage of
User:Gman124, who says: "I can't seem to find how to type the uduk". By "Uduk"
Gman124 probably refers to "addak", a commonly used character. It is easy to
type it using Narayam.
So, the extension can be enabled now. The current JavaScript solution must be
disabled. I tried to post requests about this on the village pump of that
Wikipedia and to contact the two sysops of that project, but after several
weeks they didn't reply. I believe that intervention is justified in this case,
because the current situation may be repelling people.
