      Design for cooperation is a challenge. As designers we note that
      as we are moving towards the final years of this century,
      several areas have achieved significant breakthroughs. Among
      them, it is easy to perceive that areas of Computing and
      Telecommunications have had an impact of paramount importance to
      society as a whole. These technologies have allowed an
      increasing integration of research fields, people of various
      backgrounds and abilities as well as made the interaction of
      different cultures possible. As a result, we have been living in
      the Internet era with a very large number of Web sites which can
      be visited, queried and played with. That constitutes what we
      call social computing. Application examples are: digital
      libraries, health care information systems, Physics
      collaboratories, and Web-based entertainments like interactive
      Web games. Within this context, we are concerned with the user
      interface design requirements gathering for such systems. In
      that sense, we present a protagonist task-based approach for
      capturing the user interface design requirements.
