[rules-users] name

[Michael Rhoden]

Wonderful idea. D-rules or some variant is much better than the previous 
2 names :)

Telling an exec we saved a lot of time & money using this system called 
"Drools" always got me a few looks. Likewise I dont go around saying 
the new version of JBoss Hibernate is out.
