I'm not sure what this will show. Docs created not by "me" but by others in groups I'm a part of? Not sure "my" is right there if so. I do agree that Groups Docs is wrong

"Docs belonging to groups of which I am a member"

Another option: if the existing tab is legitimately confusing, and if we can't come up with a label sufficiently succinct and clear, maybe we should just remove it.

What if we just called it "Group Docs" with the tacit understanding that it shows docs only from groups a member is part of? I think that's a reasonable assumption

I agree that the grammar is off in "My Groups Docs" -- I think "My Group Docs" works.

"My Group Docs" suggests that the docs are owned by "me." I think that "Group Docs" is preferable to "My Group Docs" if this will include docs created by people other than me (but that are part of my groups)

After thinking about this more, I think Boone’s suggestion to get rid of that tab entirely makes the most sense. It’s already not included on the Commons Profile > Docs (http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/samradd/docs/) and I think it’s more likely users are accessing the docs from within each individual group. I can’t think of a use case where the user would need to look at docs from multiple groups at once.

Seth -- before going further, is it possible to get stats on how many users end up on that page (http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/docs/my-groups/)?

One use case I can think of is that on a collaborative project, members may not remember who created a doc. They also may not remember in which group a doc was started. Perhaps this is an edge case, but as someone who is part of a lot of groups, I think it's reasonable. I'm fine with getting rid of the tab if I'm alone in this, but I would like us to do some user testing on it at a later date.
