[common] The act of telling someone everything one knows about a
particular topic or project. 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.
See core dump (sense 4). At Sun, this is also known
as TOI (transfer of
information).
