Re: doc on debugging leaks - MDC or wiki?

[Nickolay Ponomarev]

My understanding is that MDC is for any developer documentation, while
wiki.mo is a general scratchpad for random stuff, including planning.

It's true (and unfortunate) that some developer documentation,
including information on debugging leaks, is on wiki.mo currently, but
they should be moved to MDC.

(cross-posting to dev-mdc; quoting the full message below for dev-mdc readers)
