brain dump
(The act of telling someone) everything one knows about a
particular topic. Typically used when someone is going to let
a new party maintain a piece of code. Conceptually analogous
to an operating system {core dump} in that it saves a lot of
useful {state} before an exit. "You'll have to give me a
brain dump on FOOBAR before you start your new job at
HackerCorp." At Sun, this is also known as "TOI" (transfer of
information).
