Separate EIPs and ERCs

[fulldecent]

Proposed Change

The README.md file in this repo links to a closed PR and states that ERCs have been separated from EIPs.

In fact, the separation has only been started and more work remains to be done. This issue serves as a place to discuss and track the remaining project management work to do.

Work plan

• Update README.md to say that the separation is "in progress" and link to this issue instead of that merge request.
• Clearly decide which ones are ERCs and getting migrated. This should not be difficult. But it is a check-offable thing.

Update other repo

• Turn on GitHub Pages builds for the ERCs repository with the hostname ercs.ethereum.org
• Link to this URL from the "repo info" for the ERCs repo, i.e. the notes on the right when you visit it on GitHub
• Update ercs.ethereum.org use the GitHub Pages DNSI A records
• Update the ERCs website / draft PR
  • New RSS feed
  • New webpage content

Update this repo

• Remove ERCs
• Update descriptions for EIP categories, now is the time, hasn't been done in 10 years
• Update website to focus on just the EIPs
• Update RSS feeds

Cross promote

• Cross link both websites
• Cross promote both RSS feeds to each other
• Draft an announcement and recommend to the owner of the Ethereum.org blog that they post it
• Draft an announcement and recommend to the owner of the Ethereum X account that they post it

I can help with some of these things. But again. I need green lights and commitment to merge, from people with merge access, and a clear indication from them what are the hurdles achieve merge.

Yes we wanna do this direction! Item-wise, lets put it in EIPIP meeting and go through task lists to sanity check.

bit of a dup of ethereum/ERCs#8

[fulldecent]

ethereum/ERCs#8 discusses how individual authors can move their pull request to a new repo.

This issue is a separate concern of how to make the ERCs' project and community great like the EIPs' is.

If you're okay waiting an unspecified amount of time, I think most of these points are already taken care of in my working groups demo (preview).
