Aharoni <amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il> 2012-05-03 18:42:02 UTC --- 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.
