Igor, this is great! I'd love to learn more about these features.
For the upcoming CQWW SSB, how do I get the CQWW look and feel of the contest?
I am not talking about clicking check boxes and getting different rows of data,
but truly looking at a site that has the same color scheme, layout, etc. as the
CQWW site. Or, how do I see a YCCC, PVRC, etc. specific site?
On the logger side, how do I display my current ranking in the N1MM score info
window? Again, I am not talking about getting the data by visiting the site,
but being able to see it right there, in my logger, without going to the site.
I must admit it has been a couple of months since my last visit to cqcontest.ru
so I will check it out again over the weekend.
As far as participation goes, it needs to be promoted at the grass-root level,
club level, and contest organizers level as the means of adding more fun and
excitement to contesting.

Rudy,
Most of what you have mentioned in your post is already implemented in
cqcontest.ru (club specific, contest specific, integration with different
loggers). I know, that many contest participants are watching the data on that
site during the contest but very few choose to post their own data. Guess why?

Perhaps these sites can implement contest-specific, club-specific, etc.
approach to branding so that there is more encouragement coming from sponsors
or grass-root organizations. For example, getscores.org/cqww will properly
display the results using the existing look and feel of the CQ brand. Such
implementations are trivial using open source platforms, such as WordPress, and
CSS "skins"
To push the idea even further, how about two-way integration with N1MM and
other loggers where the contest info window not only shows your score, but also
displays ranking based on the data submitted to the site. The opportunities for
fun are endless!

Cqcontest.ru was also used officially for real-time scoring in the
Scandinavian Activity Contest's "National Team Contesting Trial"
(http://www.sactest.net/blog/sac-2012-national-team-contesting-trial/) this
year. In addition to the scores, the site has the ability to embed
audio+video streams from the stations.
The comments regarding the trial have been very positive. Hopefully these
kinds of real-time features will become more popular, because they add a
whole new social dimension to the contest experience.
