Ethereum Improvement Proposal Notes
I've put this off far too long and if your reading this you have too. I finally got sick of putting off sitting down and reading all proposals and taking notes on them (Review/Draft/Stagnant/Withdrawn coming soon). Some of it is word for word but I find typing them out myself helps it stick better. Use to just open them up to reference but no longer. I would start with Meta category for they go through all hard forks, what EIPs were added and any other changes. Then go through EIPs not added via hard fork in Core , Networking and Interface .
Note : I don't plan on doing notes on the ERC section . For most of them, no matter what when reviewing code I'll always have them up for referencing.
