Hey folks! I have a conflicting meeting during this time tomorrow but just wanted to share that the ethereum.org team is interested & able to facilitate/host/create content for Ethereum client developers.

A couple of our upcoming initiatives that may be relevant to this group:

Consolidation of Ethereum wikis

https://github.com/ethereum/ethereum-org-website/milestone/2

We've had some ongoing conversations with community wikis that are no longer maintained (see ethereum/homestead-guide#473 & ethereum/eth-wiki#55) & we have buy-in to consolidate these resources by moving relevant pages onto ethereum.org. The hope here is to provide a more sustainable solution given the team we have to maintain the content & our active community of GitHub contributors.

Why's this relevant to EIPIP? One of the primary pieces of content involved is the JSON RPC spec. Now that you folks are maintaining the Eth1.0 spec repo perhaps there's opportunity for us to collaborate on providing comprehensive resource for client devs (perhaps a section within our developer docs?)... please let us know how you think we might be able to help!

Network upgrade information

Spoke with @poojaranjan today re: this. It'd be great to collaborate with you folks on ways to improve our current page on network upgrades: https://ethereum.org/en/history/

I think the major piece missing currently is a section on where to find the current status re: network upgrades & where to follow for updates. I think adding a section on this (& probably linking to https://github.com/ethereum/eth1.0-specs) makes sense. We'd welcome ideas / PRs around this 😄

EIP information

Also spoke with @poojaranjan today on this & messaged our Discord about it:
https://discord.com/channels/714888181740339261/714888881824333894/803737722253606933

I think EIP information (summaries, list of links to discussions & resources) could be useful for ethereum.org to provide, e.g. as sections or subpages of our EIPs overview page: https://ethereum.org/en/eips/

Note: the goal here would NOT be to replace eips.ethereum.org but merely supplement that material with resources from the community. As an example, the content ECH curates on EIP 1559 (https://github.com/ethereum-cat-herders/ethereum-cat-herders.github.io/blob/master/index.md#1559-fee-market-change) provides a large amount of additional context vs the EIP itself (https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1559). I think we could bring these type of resources onto ethereum.org.

The main potential benefits I see from doing this would be

1. making the work ECH is already doing more easily discoverable to more people
2. leveraging our community of contributors to crowdsource improvements to these pages (e.g. adding updated articles, providing summaries, fixing links) vs. relying solely on ECH/EIPIP team to maintain

Thanks for reading through! Feedback welcome 😃

Item 2 Info:

• Talk to ECH about funding it (with the expectation companies help out with a fund in the future).
• Use Gitcoin probably (depending on what ECH says) to try to get a new ecosystem participant.
• Grant cost estimate below:
  $57 per hour for a python dev
  2 weeks of dev/documentation for $4583
  1 week is of retainer for issues and upgrades $2291
  $6874 total rounded up to $7000 total for the

Thanks for the heads up @MicahZoltu - I've open up an issue on that repo:

I encourage you to weigh in if you have thoughts.
