Hello,
We just enabled a new beta version of the Punjabi Gurnukhi transliteration keyboard layout in translatewiki.net: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Amire80/narayam-pa
What's new? * Full documentation! So you won't have to wonder how to type every letter. * Some bugs were fixed, thanks to reports from testers. * All Unicode Gurnukhi characters are supposed to be supported.
Please, if you know Punjabi, go to http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Amire80/narayam-pa and test whether you can type comfortably.
If you know Punjabi, but you find that the keyboard is not convenient, that some letters are missing or that the documentation is incomplete, unclear or wrong, please let me know.
We want to enable this keyboard on the Punjabi Wikipedia as soon as possible, because we believe that it is much better than the keyboard that is currently enabled there.
Thank you!

Hi I used keyboard and able to type. I found that '।' is missing (which is U+0964) also "॥" (U+0965) will be useful.
few added characters, which are Never used in Punjabi (Gurmukhi) -ਁ -ਃ
thanks Aman Alam
Hi I used keyboard and able to type.
Aman, thank you very much for testing! See comments below.
I found that '।' is missing (which is U+0964) also "॥" (U+0965) will be useful.
I forgot to document it, but it is actually already possible to type these characters. Use '.' for '।' and '..' for '॥'.
I added them to the end of the table now. Can you please try again?
few added characters, which are Never used in Punjabi (Gurmukhi) -ਁ -ਃ
I know that they are probably rare, but they appear in the Unicode block for Gurmukhi. Do they interfere with typing in any way? Should I remove them?

it is up to you. those increase chance of mistake (specially
-ਁ with ੱ).
from unicode block, few characters are missing (those can be used with nukta, but still missing)
would you like to share reference for this keymap?

Thank you, I'll think about it.

I actually thought about these. I included 'ੜ', because the Unicode document said that it's a unique Gurmukhi letter, but as far as I understood, the other letters can be typed using Nukta. Should I add them or should people type them with Nukta?
would you like to share reference for this keymap?
What do you mean by "share reference"? Are you offering to spread the link to your friends? If you are, then Yes, certainly! I want to get this tested by as many people as possible, and then to install it in the Punjabi Wikipedia so that it will be easier to write there.
Or are you asking about something else?
