Actually, WT was written with real-time logging in mind, as we cannot 
imagine today to seriously take part in contest another way.

I understand your point. I guess we all knew this "pressure", when we 
first entered the battle while entering QSO (even worse in CW !). Maybe 
you could initiate the newcomers in entering data, while operating as 
"partners". That way, the pressure will be divided between the runner 
(pileup pressure), and the partner/logger (data entering pressure). Just 
an idea.

Noted, but we can't honestly assure you it will implemented soon. We 
rather concentrate on real-time features to improve scoring and contest 
experience.
