ParselOcelot is a fork of What.CD's high-performance torrent tracker Ocelot. Our goal with this project is to rewrite the functions involving DB and site/frontend communication to instead use a newly created Tracker <-> Site/Frontend communications API open standard written by the ParselTrack Project Team. We are currently working on a first draft of the API and will be uploading it both to the repo as a LaTeX document and putting it into this Wiki. We intend to have 1.0 of the API standard solidified with a working release of ParselOcelot alongside it as a working implementation and example for those who might wish to fork and modify OpenTracker and XBTT (or other trackers). We intend for this API standard to be robust enough to become the net-wide standard, so that site frontends can be written in a way which is tracker agnostic, and trackers can be written in a way which is site and DB agnostic. This also will enable better scalability and redundancy by making it possible to have multiple tracker nodes or multiple site/frontend nodes (or both) while still maintaining reliable communications.

We look forward to any input from the community at large!
