Hello!

I was excited about OpenAtrium and immediately set it up for use with my clients' projects. My intent was to set up case-tracking, keep track of project milestones and timeline, post mockups and create site content for projects.

I have tried out Basecamp and did not like it, and certainly did not want to spend the money on something I didn't like.

Where I feel both are lacking, are in the "Design Review" department. I tried setting up something, but Features, Spaces and all that stuff confused me big time. My thought was that "Documents" would be used for managing site content, and I would create a new content type/feature/view to handle design mockups and review. If anybody has suggestions or would like to help out with this, I'd appreciate it!

One other big issue is the fact that renaming, say, "Documents" to "Site Copy" (which would be easier for clients) only changes the tab at the top of the group, and does not change the "Documents" block on the right. Also, It would probably make the most sense to have recent updates be on the right, instead of the in the main area, and have the "Documents" block actually be the main area.
