I believe most (all?) of the jabber servers working successfully as  
servers for AG venues are running some version of jabberd14. Thats  
not to say that others won't work.

You shouldn't manually create the conference rooms on the jabber  
server - see below.

VenueServer.cfg's textHost and textPort fields are all that need to  
be changed for the VenueServer itself.

The rooms are created dynamically. When the first participant enters  
an AG venue, the corresponding jabber room is also created on the  
jabber server. It disappears some time after the last participant  
leaves the venue. Maybe your jabber server needs some configuration  
setting to allow this to occur.

It would be an impossible mission to keep permanent jabber rooms on a  
particular jabber server synchronised with all the venue servers in  
the world that might specify that jabber server as its textHost.
