Open Publish has a lot more going on that just that single repo! There's a whole suite of supporting services for interfacing with the blockchain, parsing the blockchain, creating transactions. https://github.com/blockai https://github.com/blockai One piece that we're using in production and hopefully publicly releasing soon is the state engine that turns blockchain transactions in to a state of asset ownership. We run our own public access state engine endpoint behind this module so anyone can query about published documents or ownership here: https://github.com/blockai/openpublish-state https://github.com/blockai/openpublish-state We built another service called Bitstore, a content-addressable cloud storage web service that uses Bitcoin public key infrastructure for authentication and payment, and it pairs nicely. https://github.com/blockai/bitstore-client https://github.com/blockai/bitstore-client I'm on Freenode as "williamcotton". You can msg me and I'll give you a link to our staging server to show you the full system. As for how IPFS relates to Xanadu, IPFS is very much interested in the "permanent web": https://neocities.org/permanent-web https://neocities.org/permanent-web "Where links do not break as versions change; where documents may be closely compared side by side and closely annotated; where it is possible to see the origins of every quotation; and in which there is a valid copyright system-- a literary, legal and business arrangement-- for frictionless, non-negotiated quotation at any time and in any amount." http://www.xanadu.com.au/ted/XUsurvey/xuDation.html http://www.xanadu.com.au/ted/XUsurvey/xuDation.html Open Publish is an attempt to build a content-addressable copyright system that pairs with the content-addressable delivery system that IPFS is building with the hopes to create something along the lines of what Ted Nelson was envisioning. BTW, BitTorrent is another great example of a related content-addressable delivery system. Content-addressable systems are at the root of Xanadu-like systems and it seems like the web is headed that way!
