It would help the user/tester if you could provide/add more detail about the keystroke combinations. https://github.com/ankur-india/ankur-india/blob/master/resources/probhat-keycombos.txt is an example.

Thanks for your feedback. We have provided one example (writing the word Hindi in Devanagari Lipi) in the details web pagehttps://mentor.ieee.org/1908.1/bp/Draft_virtual_keyboard_proposals_for_Hindi. As the layout is visual, we think it may be sufficient. We will consider your input and other feedback that we receive in the next few days and add additional examples or FAQ in due course.
Sincerely
Arjuna

Excellent. At its current stage the kind of feedback you are looking for is discoverability/learning as well as ease of usage when compared with existing layouts. "Hindi" is a fairly trivial word to use as an example and, there are could be pangrams which your users can aim to type.
An additional request - since it is good to spread the news about this over social media, if you could, in future announcements, provide a message you want shared, it would help keep things consistent. For example, https://twitter.com/sankarshan/status/400201328313794560 may not actually be what you'd like shared.

Agreed. May be we should do the complete sequence for the test phrase that is used in the survey.

Sending the social media message separately. I will keep your suggestion
in mind for the next communication.
Cheers Arjuna
