Open Atrium vs BaseCamp project management

Manage Your Projects With Open Atrium Idealware: "Manage Your Projects With Open Atrium
By Steve Backman, August 2009
I’m trying out Open Atrium. http://openatrium.com/ Now in first beta, Open Atrium from Development Seed consolidates powerful project management features to Drupal in a modern, polished format.

When we first started bearing down on Drupal two years ago, about the first thing we wanted to do manage independent projects on our own www.dbdes.com site. We got reasonably far, with the ability to define clients, projects, tasks and organize blog-like discussion and documents for each. Given the state of the art two years ago in Drupal and our own priorities, we eventually shelved it in favor of a generally positive relationship with Basecamp (http://www.basecamphq.com). Meanwhile, many of our Drupal sites required one or another set of Intranet features, and each one got delivered in customized, one-off ways."
