Description

As someone who has been uploading a number of documents to a group lately, I notice a problem: when one uploads a document, one often wants there to be some conversation around the document, so that people can provide responses, revisions, etc. If the file is uploaded through group docs, that's not possible -- one has to go start a separate forum topic. If one attaches a file to a forum post, the conversation can happen there, but the doc doesn't get added to the groups archive.

I wonder whether we can address either side of this problem -- either by adding a button to the Documents page that says something like "start a conversation around this document," and that automatically takes the user to a create forum post page with the subject line already filled in with the name of the file, or by having attachments to group posts automatically added to the group docs section.

or both.

what do you think?
