Now, I like you to have the same "pushing" approach towards the technicality of Persian computing requirements!
But on the Persian versus Farsi issue, of course I followed the discussions in FarsiWeb and my personal view is that it's not for this forum or for any forum for that matter, to "standardize" a language. This goes way beyond the simple matter of two words, Farsi and Persian, which I don't care either way anyways, but the matter of openness of a language, a culture and the issue of freedom of expression. And of course I didn't join this forum to discuss about any of these matters.
Suffice to say that language academy (à la Française) is not for me. This kind of institutions can't stop the evolution of the language of a people. They just adapt to the evolution forced by people... twenty years later!
... and I'm not going to discuss this any further.
