Hi :)
It is tricky to find a good word. In England collaborators has a hint of
revolutionary/terrorist activity shady dodgy characters working towards the
downfall of the country as in the French Revolution. Workers can hint at
comrades which hints at communism and is seen as bad. Co-workers is
possibly fairly hippy which would make it far worse than any of the above.
Colleagues is possibly best although it's fairly posh so although some
office
workers might understand it many people wouldn't. It also implies that you
have
no control over them as they are on the same level as you in the hierarchy of
the organisation. Employees is the one that might cause the least amount of
confusion even though the people volunteered and didn't get paid. At least
with
Employees it shows that you have some control so it's more accurate.
Volunteers implies the work is such poor quality that it's worthless, an
attitude that constantly annoys me a LOT given the amount of amazing amount of
great work i see every day from volunteers compared to the low quality of work
i often see from paid workers. Perhaps Journalists that wrote the articles?
I do like Employees Colleagues because it hints at corporate
professionalism. I like Collaborators but many would be suspicious of it.
Journalists that supplied the articles might be better in this specific case.
England is a very frustrating place sometimes.

Hi all,

Today the Brazilian community was awarded a very special invitation. The
person responsible for site http://www.recortes.cv/, from Cabo Verde (Cape
Verde)asked us permission to publish the BrOffice Magazine (now,

Magazine) on its website. Because the magazine is done collaborative I'm
asking permission to all employees on our local list.
