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.
