[CQ-Contest] Status of getscores.org?

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.
