How is your cooperative work helping others like you?

Hello, My name is Marcelo, I´m from Brasil.

I´m making my final university teses about this social colaboration platform. And I would like to know from you guys what kind of cases have you participate, or simply heard, that became a special one.

Also want to know from you, how is this experience  helping in your daily life? If there are any articles you would like to indicate me.

I am all ears!!
