Heads up! This plugin requires BuddyPress
Before you can use BuddyPress Docs, you will first need to install BuddyPress along with our in-house compatibility plugin Grimlock for BuddyPress (download link). If you haven’t already done so, you still can install these plugins before proceeding to the following steps.
The BuddyPress Docs plugin adds a collaborative workspace (document service) for your BuddyPress community. Part shared dropbox, part wiki, and part document editing for your WordPress users.
