I believe there should also be a ???General??? channel that is not tied to any project along with other channels such as marketing, development etc

then on the other hand, as we already have the Projects tab, all projects should reflect under the Projects tab in the menu section so that i can easily see the notifications when there is a new message in the project or when i am tagged - not until i click projects before i see that there is a new message in the project. This means , by default the project will be a normal Text (KIKI Website Dev), when there is a message where i am not tagged, it becomes bold <b>(KIKI Website Dev)</b> and when there is a message where i am tagged, there is a bubble with the number of times i have been tagged.

I hope i am clear enough.????????
