The discussion between Andy Parkins and Jeff Garzik is primarily focused on the development of Bitcoin. According to Andy, developers are not paid for their contributions, so they should have the freedom to work on what they choose. However, having a list of suggested areas to focus on could be beneficial for new contributors and those looking for direction.When it comes to bug fixing, Andy worries that a lack of pressure might result in less involvement, which would be detrimental to the project. Jeff believes that the solution is to loosen the reins and allow people to feel more invested in the project. Specifically, he suggests a distributed method similar to Linux-next, which has proven to be successful. Jeff emphasizes that a centrally managed development branch is not the way to go. Instead, a more decentralized approach would allow for greater community involvement without compromising code quality. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of allowing for flexibility while still maintaining a level of structure and organization.
