There is also the GMA program (Global Mountain Activity) that accepts SOTA logs and lists additional summits with special GMA references. The GMA site provides some more statistics and got a nice mapping feature.

Logbook Sheets
Here is my current version of a SOTA/GMA logbook. It should also be useful for GMA, WWFF and other activations. It holds up to 25 QSOs and provides plenty of space for notes. All important data is noted on top, easily for the operator to find while in QSO with chasers.
