Ok the repository and IRC channel have both been changed to
haskell-ide-engine.
The timing is driven by wanting to get an accurate HCAR entry for the
project.

This post generated some discussion on the mailing list(s) [1],[2] and on reddit [3].
The straw poll [4] garnered (as of time of writing this mail) 138 votes, broken down as
ghc-ide-engine 56 votes 41% ghc-ide-service 43 votes 31% haskides 19 votes 14% ghc-ide-daemon 16 votes 12% something else 4 votes 3%
So it seems -ide-engine is the favourite
In a bait-and-switch operation, I think it makes sense to keep the current "haskell-ide" prefix, and so rename it to
haskell-ide-engine
This has the advantages of
a) The prefix is the same, so continuity is slightly better
b) It does not mentally shut out any tooling constructed using other compilers/techniques, such as haskell-src-exts
If anyone feels strongly that this is wrong, please let me know.

At the moment the repository/project is called haskell-ide
This leads to the impression that it is an IDE.
It is actually a backend/server to provide services for an IDE
We are considering changing the name.
The options are
haskides / ghc-ide-daemon / ghc-ide-service / ghc-ide-engine

Thanks Alan
