I'm currently reading a book about coops, and the author said, the main problem is missing know-how.

Most skilled people will go were the money is, so coops are usually filled with low to mediocre workers.

Would you mind sharing the name of the book?

I don't think this is the book parent was referring to, but Developer Hegemony by Erik Dietrich describes an almost law parnership-like model for developer shops.

Oh, yes.

"Produktivgenossenschaft als fortschrittsfähige Organisation: Theorie, Fallbeispiele, Handlungshilfen" by Burghard Flieger

I think, it's only available in German. The translated title would be:

"Workers cooperative as organization capable of progress: Theory, case studies, and procedural guidelines"

Ah okay, thanks! I wish I read German, or that there was a cooperative for translating books about cooperatives into English XD
