Busy week at work

I was involved in three independent launches this week:
  • My 20% Farsi keyboard launched on Monday. It's now listed in the Gadget directory. I've also embedded the gadget below.
  • We finished up a project that made some backend changes to Gmail. Nothing user visible, but some invisible things are now better.
  • OpenSocial is finally announced. It's launching on Thursday!

For more information feel lucky!

Hi. Thanks for the hard-and-nice work you've done with this gadget. You mentioned some change you introduced to gmail on google's official blog. I wonder if you can introduce some change to the search engine itself! Here's the thing: I bet you know the problem with farsi keyboard layout regarding ی and ي, and two forms of ک, one Arabic and one Farsi. Here's a bit of description: http://lotus.sampad.info/1386/08/10/persian-writing-20/
My point is when searching google for anything containing these characters, and the search is meant in farsi not arabic, the google engine should not put any difference between ی and ي, or ک and the other form of it. Search results for one word containing any of these should be the same. At least that's what the Iranians expect when doing a search on google. I hope you get what I tried to explain!
