As far as "Tips for preparing" goes...
Organizing your information
Looking at Wiki sites might be a good idea as a model.
One key is going to be that you will want to separate things you would reveal from things you would not. A printed adventure, or your own notes, might mix GM-only information with information intended for the PCs. You will probably want to separate those while entering them, to make revealing just the PC-appropriate information easier.
Because the arrangement can be like Wiki pages, you will likely want to think about the best place to locate the information. If one NPC can tell the PCs about another NPC, which one makes more sense to be where you put the information? It is ABOUT NPC #2, so that makes sense.. but they are going to get it from NPC #1, and so maybe it is in NPC #1's notes or printed description instead of NPC #2's. You might want it in both, but if you decide to alter it later, that makes it easier to miss one of the locations.
Editing your Information
Also, you will likely find yourself editing the wording. If the original text refers to "they" and "them", you might find yourself changing it to "you" so that it reads better when the players have access to it.
