The Sannyas Wiki:About
This wiki had its beginnings when Rudra launched an online directory of the so called Friends of Osho in 1998 and which was originally hosted on www.sannyas.net and moved to www.sannyas.org in 2002.
Once on sannyas.org, the Osho Bibliography was added.
In 2013, the website, which was driven by a Visual Foxpro database, was ported to MySQL with a MediaWiki front end. This finally opened the doors to new editors and much more content.
