Open Atrium is an intranet in a box that has group spaces to allow different teams to have their own conversations. It comes with six features - a blog, a wiki, a calendar, a to do list, a shoutbox, and a dashboard to manage it all.

Atrium blog Blog: A classic blog for each group that has commenting, file attachments on both the post and comments, and granular notifications.
Atrium calendar Calendar: A calendar that lets you quickly add events, suck in iCal and other calendar feeds, and support single or multi-day events.
Atrium dashboard Group Dashboard: Mini widgets give you a snapshot of all the activity happening across your groups. Think iGoogle, in that you can turn on what you want, turn off what you don't, and arrange it all however you'd like.
Atrium documents Documents: A simple online handbook that lets you collaborate on documents, store and compare revisions, attach files, and once you're done print out the final copy.
Atrium shoutbox Shoutbox: Kind of like a private twitter, the shoutbox lets you share short messages, links, and information with just the people in your group.
Atrium casetracker Case Tracker: A full ticketing system that lets you assign to do's and create unlimited projects within each of your groups. The case tracker also lets you classify the to do, give it a priority, and manage its status.

So now that you know the good and bad sides of Drupal, you may imagine what I mean when I say Drupal is like a beach. Nice, but can be a long one, limitless, never-ending, you may get to the deep waters, you may hurt yourself to glass, etc.

Then again Open Atrium is like a swimming pool. Still very nice, even perhaps nicer now that it has clear limits, it is "framed" so that you dont get lost, it is very clear and easy to get started. You have stairs, ceramics etc.

Using Open Atrium

The features-context-spaces module combination can make you crazy. At least it made me. I still don't know how to create a proper feature. But like modules, now OA fans are sharing OA features. See e.g. here features.pingv.com/ or here fserver.pronovix.net.

The guys behind OA are just gurus: Development Seed. I mean, what can you say? Gods in ideas, technology and even in graphics as well.

I see that Open Atrium will change the way how Drupal is outlined both in the non-coders World and in real geek World.

This looks very interesting. We are impressed about all the features packed in Open Atrium. Atrium is possibly just the sort of thing we are looking for.
