The jabber rooms representing AG venues are dynamic so their contents will be lost some time after the last participant leaves the venue. > The disadvantage of this is that there will be no room history i.e. > you won't be able to see what someone wrote in your last meeting.

I am not sure what Jabber server ANL are using I believe its jabberd14 (http://jabberd.org/download/) for the basic jabber server. I'm not sure what chat room module they're using; we use mu-conference (0.7) for this, together with jabberd14 (1.6.1.1), to provide the APAG server's text service. chris > so I am not sure if this can be configured. > > Andrew :) > > -----Original Message----- > From: ag-tech-boun...@lists.mcs.anl.gov > [mailto:ag-tech-boun...@lists.mcs.anl.gov > ] On Behalf Of Jeremy Mann > Sent: 13 March 2009 23:10 > To: John I.
