This was a question from the SeptembRSE walkthrough. It might be useful to have a record of what was initially entered into the cookiecutter template for a variety of reasons. One that springs to mind is if you spent quite a bit of time implementing your project and now you want to change one of the template parameters. In order to make sure you get all instances of the parameter, you need to know its value and then do a search-and-replace. Having the text file record of these parameters will better enable this process.
