I am still reading all you past posts but this series is really hitting home. I have been working on a new campaign now for a while and this is giving me so many ideas I would have never thought of before. Great series.

Every GM worth his salt must keep a bible about his world. No, we’re not talking about a holy religious text. We’re talking about a set of information about the world that the GM knows and can share with the PCs when necessary and appropriate. I personally use a Wiki for everything except my game plot notes. I suppose I could use the wiki for the game notes as well, but just not link to them and make them viewable by only me. Whatever method you use, make sure you have backups!

That might be an interesting element. Add rumors and notes to the wiki in the two or three weeks before it actually comes up in play. I think I'll try that. Keeping it short is an important element for me as a player. I'm in a game to play, not to read pages and pages of material. That's why I try to keep things very short and limit myself to things that actually happened. Hm, I never did the foreshadowing part using my campaign wiki. That might be an interesting element.
