[CQ-Contest] online score board

[k0luz at topsusa.com]

Interesting start Pat.

It is my hope the eventually the posting will be within the software and if
configured,  it will send the info without interrupting the normal routines
of the operator,  but this is a start.

Maybe for now,  the categories are sufficient because you want to see how
much activity it receives,  but it would be nice if it tracked single bands
and maybe even assisted categories too.  Then make it so that someone could
configure their window so that they can choose combinations (maybe single op
plus multi two for example).  Also might be interesting to have a time last
posted field (automatically assigned) to gauge how current the score is.
Also radio buttons that have titles "accurate" and "just kidding" <grin>
Is that enough work for this afternoon?

I'll see what we can do this weekend to keep it up to date at N4WW

Here is the first cut at an on-line scoreboard.  http://scoreboard.oqp.us .

Create an account, login (system will email you the password) and select
"create content" to enter a score.  Score posts are edit-able so you don't
have to keep reentering data if it hasn't changed.  A XML feed link is
available
on the lower left.   Comments are open to all without a login.

Remember the goal here is to have fun.  If you don't want to have fun then
don't waste your time flaming me because it isn't "automatic" or doesn't
have the feature you went.

W1VE did something similar in 2001, but it was limited to a particular
software
package. Which is probably why it never happend again. This is intended to
be open and free for all to use.   The next step is to design the input
methods and formats.

If you wish to contribute in any manner send me a email direct.
