I got N900 (Nokia Mobile) based on Linux (Maemo),
after installing fonts, it is working, Rendering is
perfect (based on QT). While Input is easy to add support,
but Translation (less priority work) is not working that easily
Firefox Web Browser is Available for N900,
you can install it in Punjabi and use
If someone has N900 and have report about Punjabi
support, please share.

GUCA 'ਤੇ ਅਜੀਤ ਮੈਕਜ਼ੀਨ ਵਿਚ ਸੀ. ਪੀ. ਕੰਬੋਜ ਦਾ ਲੇਖ

C. P. Kamboj[1] from Punjabi University (I heard he's involved in Punjabi research work there.), wrote an article about GUCA, which was published in Ajit Magazine (newspaper supplement) today on 10th January 2010. Although GUCA is almost half a decade old now, and is considered obsolete per our plans, since Metamorph[2] was what we looked forward to, still it feels good seeing some exposure to Punjabi computing work which does not have any commercial interests.
There's some reference to PCRC (Punjabi Computing Resource Centre) as well, however, the author missed it when he mentioned Dr. Sukhjinder Singh Sidhu as the controller ("ਸੰਚਾਲਕ") of PCRC. Just for the clarity, PCRC was started by Amanpreet (aalam) Singh (ok confirmed below by Sukh himself) while he was still in Moga. But there's no doubt Sukhjinder contributed a lot when he was active in team.
Oooh, and "Dr." Sukhjinder Sidhu? As far as I know, he's yet to earn any doctorate degree, but close to it since he's a Master already. 
It's my instinct to be a critic. Hehehehe. So forgive me at that. Nevertheless, it feels good to get some exposure. Cheers to C. P. Kamboj.

[2] Metamorph was supposed to succeed GUCA. But Sukhjinder Singh (orig dev of GUCA) couldn't complete it due to lack of time.
Email issues resolved

There were issues with the server setup whereby it wouldn't send out emails to any non-local server. Somehow skipped setting exim4's configuration at the time I changed the website's server.
Sorry for the inconvenience, irritation and loss of hair caused due to this. I know there was no way anyone experiencing this to reach out as well, since the contact forms were also sinking into the hole.
Would recommend all the users who require passwords for their user accounts to go to reset password form at http://saltuj.com/user/password. It'll send you a new password via email. And I promise the email to go through.

ਸਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ ਦੋਸਤੋ,
ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਮੇਲ ਕੁਝ ਕਾਹਲੀ 'ਚ ਲਿਖੀ ਗਈ ਸੀ, ਫਾਇਰਫਾਕਸ 3.5
ਇੱਕ ਵੱਡਾ (ਮੇਜਰ) ਰੀਲਿਜ਼ ਹੈ (ਫਾਇਰਫਾਕਸ ਇੱਕ ਵੈੱਬ ਬਰਾਊਜ਼ਰ ਹੈ, ਜੋ ਕਿ
ਮੁਫ਼ਤ/ਮੁਕਤ ਹੈ)। ਇਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਭੂਗੋਲਿਕ ਟਿਕਾਣੇ ਦੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ
ਨਾਲ ਬਰਾਊਜ਼ਿੰਗ ਕਰਨਾ ਕਾਫ਼ੀ ਵੱਡਾ ਬਦਲਾਅ, ਜਿਸ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਾਈਵੇਟ
ਬਰਾਊਜ਼ਿੰਗ ਅਤੇ ਸਪੀਡ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੀਤੇ ਸੁਧਾਰ ਸ਼ਾਮਲ ਹਨ:
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸ਼ਬਦਾਂ ਦਾ ਆਧੁਨਿਕੀ ਕਰਨਾ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਡਾ ਬਦਲਾਅ ਰਿਹਾ ਇਸ ਤੋਂ
ਇਲਾਵਾ ਕੀਤੇ ਕੁਝ ਹੋਰ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਸੁਧਾਰ ਹਨ:
*) Save As... ਨੂੰ '...ਇੰਝ ਸੰਭਾਲੋ'/'...ਵਾਂਗ ਸੰਭਾਲੋ' ਲਿਖਣਾ
*) ਅਨੁਵਾਦ ੯੦% ਤੱਕ ਮੁਕੰਮਲ ਹੈ
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਲਈ ਵੱਖ ਵੱਖ ਪਲੇਟਫਾਰਮ ਲਈ ਡਾਊਨਲੋਡ ਹੇਠ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਹਨ:
ਵਿੰਡੋਜ਼ (Windows):
