Building a barebones system or customizing an open-source framework

not to
focus on tools, but effectiveness of methods when communicating or
presenting asynchronously and remotely with clients. What works
well, what
doesn't work, what do you wish you had, what do your clients/
stakeholders
love the most?

I've used project blogs in the past. Having a central location where
everybody could post up mock-ups, visuals, links to early versions,
progress reports, etc. seemed to work quite well. Since most blogging
tools come with tools that allow you to imbed images, movies, audio,
etc. out of the box set up time was pretty small. Client feedback via
blog comments.
If I do it again - I'll have the client as an equal-rights poster to
the blog too. In hindsight some of their communications when they were
talking about how the business worked would have been handled better
that way.
Didn't really use it as a presentation tool. We still had occasional
face to face meet ups, plus regular teleconference + VNC to run demos/
meetings. However the continual communication via blog posts/comments
helped everybody keep on track and make those meeting more effective.
Cheers,
Adrian
