The Xanadu design of Ted and Roger (and others) is actually quite good. To understand, it does require a lot of reading (and rereading) sources like 'Literary Machines' and the online docs out there. I had to build and run Udanax Green to figure out areas the docs didn't cover.
Now the question is "Is the design feasible to scale?" I'm working toward building a xanalogical system using Udanax Green as a design reference and after 9 months of working on it, I'm convinced the design will scale.
I'm using RDF backend store for the links/endsets. SPARQL/RDF is easily distributed so there is no need to centralize. I'm using IPFS for images.
I'm currently working on a custom browser for viewing, publishing and editing.

There is still a lot to do but you can check it the source. https://github.com/sisbell/oulipo
