Yes, "room" is pretty widely used and it looks familiar for users.

I hope this is not registered as trademark or in a patent. But such an

Also good ones. My similar idea would be simply "meeting".

Or "dungeon" for role players...

Or an even more stupid suggestion Juliusz will surely not like: Add a
config parameter for choosing an arbitrary term for what's currently
called "group". Yes, let's discuss the default value now... ;-]
