As a matter of fact, we (the ESS core developers) have e-chatted
about this and came to the conclusion that we could get along fine with
an unrelated R package called 'ess', notably as the acronym also
makes sense for the European Social Survey.
We'd like to ask the 'ess' package authors to add something like the
following to their ess/DESCRIPTION file:
This package ess is named to match the European Social Survey (ESS).
It is unrelated to the Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS) project, an
emacs-based Integrated Development Environment hosted at
https://ess.r-project.org
and last but not least we have thought of 'reserving' ESSR as
the name of a CRAN package that we'd consider using for the R
part of ESS (there are others, considerably less used, notably
Julia, Stata and SAS).
