Is the goal of those broad hackathons not to encourage new ideas rather than make bulk progress on a pre-defined roadmap?

Is the goal of those broad hackathons not to encourage new ideas rather than make bulk progress on a pre-defined roadmap?
- d33 11y agoThe question is though: would you prefer a) a half-baked feature where coding is 1/10th of the effort and you're still left with 9/10th of the work for the maintainer/community or b) a small, but undeniable improvement?
- TallGuyShort 11y agoOpenBSD would obviously prefer the latter, but other hackathons are sometimes for the purpose of just generating new ideas or getting new people involved - in those cases broad scope is good and intentional.
