[windup-dev] Windup terminology question

[Robb Greathouse]

I would go with neither.  

Originally, the rulebase was a set of rules that would always be loaded.  Additional rulesets would be added dependent on the project.

I would a ruleset would apply to a group of rules that are used together for a purpose.  Such as a WebSphere 7 to JBoss EAP 6 ruleset.  A ruleset could also define a group of rules that work together in to perform a part of a migration.  Such as 2 or more rules that are used to migrate an XML file or particular piece of functionality.

My two cents.
