It is better to avoid naming conflicts. org-e-html.el took it's birth
last November. It has been around for close to 9 months now. That's a
long time already. I am not sure when merge and renames are going to
happen. I will probably give it another 6 months without any
hesitation.
I haven't used your package. `e', I believe stands for `editable'. I
believe it is really editing the underlying Org file (and not the HTML
file) with HTTP used for transport.
If the user experience is Wiki-like call it org-wiki-client and
org-wiki-server and the whole bundle org-wiki.
If you want something cool, call it org-whatever-app.
If you want to "promote", elnode just call it elnode_mod_org or
elnode_mod_elisp. Take inspiration from apache modules.

Nic Ferrier hasn't responded to the question of whether he would want to
have elnode in GNU ELPA. As far as your editable app is concerned, I
believe it can go anywhere. Marmalade seems a natural choice.
If org-export.el and org-e-backends are bundled as ELPA packages, I
would insist that go in GNU ELPA and not elsewhere. Nicolas and I are
signed contributors. (Sometime back, I had made a request to Achim to
port my ELPA changes to the new build system. I hope it is in his TODO
list. Achim, are you there?)
