Originally the language used was tray because of the CCTray XML format.
This felt like it might be confusing so we started changing the language in the UI to use CI Server. This wasn't reflected in the code and the term tray is still used extensively.
Using CI Server still has some issues, not all servers refer to themselves as CI servers, some use CD or CI/CD server and concourse just calls itself a "thing doer"... Also some servers can provide multiple CCTray XML feeds (e.g. Jenkins views).
So perhaps the best term to use is feed or something specific such as CCTray XML feed? As that is what the user is actually adding.
