Community is everything. It took just two What.CD members to come forward and post their vision: a desire to create a new niche tracker. Supportive response was overwhelming to say the least; less than a week later a mere concept had spiraled into a full-blown reality and Deli.sh was born. BitTorrent’s first (and only) food tracker has launched with vigor - we’ve got the details on this exciting new site.
Online for about 5 days now, Delish is very much in ‘alpha’ and still smoothing out the kinks but development has progressed swiftly. Running on the latest Gazelle RC2 codebase, unsurprisingly there have been very few serious bug reports from the 150 or so alpha-testers (members) using the tracker, site & forums. This also marks one of the few times that we’ve been privy to witness an almost ‘default’ stock install of RC2 without (yet) a ton of modifications; a feat that suggests RC2 is not only stable but relatively easy to work with.
Delish - About:
"If you’re reading this, it means you’re a part of a new, delicious torrent tracker! You probably already know, but Deli.sh is a tracker dedicated to everything food. Whether you want TV shows, cookbooks, or applications, we’ll have them! As a niche tracker, we want to encourage all of you to participate as much as possible and to upload whatever you can…"
Awesomeness! There’s also recipe torrents in the form of ebooks/pdf’s, movies that pertain to food, TV series (obviously), and a blossoming forum for discussion on culinary arts, user-submitted recipes, insider secrets & other related chat about gastronomy in general. From what we can tell, an encoding "capper" team is being assembled to snag the latest TV eps from popular shows, and scene content will soon be a staple to the site.
Early Access - Joining Deli.sh
FSF was lucky enough to slide in during the first wave when Deli.sh ran a temporary "open reg" promo (through What.CD) which was available to the first 100 applicants who submitted an email request to be invited. There’s a second wave scheduled to commence "sometime this week" when they go into beta, but at this time we have no information as to how many new members will be accepted during this next phase. Aspiring earlybirds could try these options:
1. To be notified of the site’s launch, subscribe by entering your email address at their registration page - http://deli.sh/register.php. TIP: Keep a close eye on your inbox.
2. Post your interest through What.CD in this thread. This won’t necessarily guarantee anything, but it’s worth a shot. TIP: Frequently check/refresh What for new PMs. To quote:
"The deli.sh staff and I would like to announce that when we go into our “beta” sometime this week (still to be determined when), everyone in this thread who has shown interest, will be PMed and informed about our open registrations."
3. Quitely wait for open registration or alternate sources of info which may trickle over to other trackers or forums. After all; it doesn’t appear that Deli.sh is resolute on becoming a secret l33t tracker - it’s simply a tracker that’s not quite yet ready for an official launch (hence the limited access).
4. Hit ‘em up on IRC. Delish has their own IRC digs at irc.deli.sh - however, non-members won’t be able to access official delish channels, with one exception being the #help channel (hotlink to #help here). It would be ill-advised to ask for invites here, but if you think you can contribute somehow to the dev of the tracker, by all means contact staff through the help channel.

These are subject to change (and soon), but here’s how it is for now:
