Thesswiki
thesswiki es un wikiproyecto sobre una ciudad que pretende digitalizar la historia y cultura de la ciudad de Salónica por parte de los mismos ciudadanos, usando la enciclopedia en línea más prominente del mundo, Wikipedia, mientras interconectan las entradas digitales con el paisaje urbano. thesswiki es un proyecto de acción cibernética, que pretende tener un impacto en la cultura, educación, turismo y gobierno electrónico. El proyecto thesswiki es una actividad educativa y cultural de tipo experimental para integrar el acceso libre y fácil al conocimiento con la vida diaria de los ciudadanos y con el uso de wikis en los espacios públicos y culturales. Algunas actividades específicas relacionadas a la dimensión educativa del proyecto incluyen, entre otras, entrenamientos sobre la Wikipedia, reuniones de wikipedistas de todo el mundo (wikicampamentos), seminarios en línea y talleres.
Salónica: Ciudad Wikipedia
The project will start by opening content currently available in galleries, museums, libraries and archives (GLAM-organisations) in Thessaloniki in order to cover notable sites, historical events, monuments, people and artists in as many languages as possible. Thessalonians from around the world (including nationalities who have had important historical relationship with the city, such as Bulgarians, Turks, Armenians, Russians, Jews, English, French, Ukrainians, Georgians, etc.) will be invited to strengthen these entries, while special barcodes, called QR codes, will be mounted on the sides of buildings or monuments, in order to allow users with smartphones, focusing specifically on tourists and visitors, to scan them and instantly access up-to-date Wikipedia entries about all aspects of life in Thessaloniki in their native language.
The project is similar to MonmouthpediA, GibraltarpediA, Freopedia and other WikiTown projects around the world, which have been supported and endorsed by the Wikimedia Foundation, resulting in significantly extending the usage and impact of Wikipedia. thesswiki project is the first and largest international integration effort of a city of such size and history in Wikipedia, and the first ever GLAM-wiki project in Greece. Thessaloniki is the ideal case for such an action due to its multiculturalism, evident both in the past history and everyday life, but also for its high rate of young people amongst the total population and the large number of active community and volunteer organizations related to GLAM.
¿Quién apoya el proyecto?
The project is run under the supervision of the Municipality of Thessaloniki and is coordinated by PostScriptum (Greece’s premier digital consulting specialist to Cultural (GLAM) Organizations). It is based on a proposal of Wikimedia Community User Group Greece, an active supporter of the project, and also supported by Yiannis Boutaris himself, voted as the world's eighth best mayor by the independent "City Mayors Foundation" (2015). The project will be implemented in cooperation with Greek Free Open Source Society (GFOSS), volunteer organizations (more than 2,000 volunteers that have participated in the thessaloniki youth capital during 2014) and platforms as well as higher education institutes and all major Museums, Libraries and Archives of the city. All stakeholders have already been engaged into discussion and collaboration and are planning concrete actions to be implemented. Once the project is finalized, neighboring and other international Wikipedia chapters or user groups will be included in order to expand the outreach of the project.
Dimitria Festival 2015
The project will be officially announced at the opening ceremony of Demetria Festival 2015, the most prominent annual cultural festival taking place in Thessaloniki in September 2015. During the one-month duration of the festival, the first QR codes will be mounted on monuments and street signage, and specific activities interlinked to the Festival will be implemented, including Wikipedia training workshops, an international wiki-camp, open discussions and seminars. All the actions will be implemented in cooperation with informal or voluntary groups and will be coordinated by PostScriptum and the Wikimedia Community User Group Greece.
La sostenibilidad de la iniciativa
thesswiki is designed as an on-going project and aims to incorporate numerous activities throughout the years 2016 and 2017, contributing effectively to the qualitative and quantitative enrichment of Wikipedia, expanding the visibility and impact of the Wikipedia on the local population as well as international tourists, visitors and Wikipedia user groups. The follow-up activities will be designed and implemented by all project stakeholders mainly aligned to the municipal e-government and smart city strategies.
Artículos de interes
La siguiente es una lista (incompleta) de artículos que nos gustaría expandir y traducir a tantos idiomas como podamos, dado que estarán conectados a través de placas con códigos QR en los edificios y monumentos.
Un editatón el 18 de junio tratará de crear esbozos y expandir artículos en las wikipedias en griego, inglés y frances.
