Thanks for asking me to work on this. I will get started on it and keep this PR's description up to date as I form a plan and make progress.


This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Why is this named "jQuery"?</issue_title>
<issue_description>Why is this client plugin named jQuery? It has not much to do with jQuery. A name such as "Etherpad JS wrapper" or "Etherpad JS embedder" would be more suitable. This name is really misleading...

AFAIK it really only creates a wrapper

Additionally when one admin says to another one "Hey, I use the Etherpad jQuery plugin on my server XY." it is not clear at all that this is a client-side plugin. I'd rather think it is a plugin I can install on the server.
This is not only theoretical, I misunderstood it this way.

So you might rethink this name.

@JohnMcLear All server side plugins have a prefix of ep_

So I was just told this is a jQuery plugin as any other jQuery plugin. In this case this of course makes sense, but it can still be confused with a server side plugin, which adds jQuery to Etherpad.
So maybe a name like "jquery-etherpad-lite-wrapper" would be useful, which makes clear this is a plugin for the client side.
