Awesome. If you keep a laptop at the table (or would be willing to), spending 10 minutes after a gaming session entering the NPCs and plothooks you generated during the session into this wiki means never having to forget again. Great search features. Make sure to make uses of the tags.
If you use multiple computers, keep the wiki file in your DropBox folder. Dropbox - Home - Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy.
