Hello

Hello is a Ruby interface to a collection of the word “hello” in many languages and dialects.

It was written so you can show Flickr-style messages to your users after they sign in to your web application:

Hello.random

By default, the word you get is time-neutral and religious-neutral. It is intended to be directed at one person of any gender or any age. The “hello” may be formal or informal.

Expand the list of "hello"s by gender:

Hello.random(:gender => :male) Hello.random(:gender => :female)

Expand the list of "hello"s by time of day:

Hello.random(:time => :morning) Hello.random(:time => :afternoon) Hello.random(:time => :evening)

Adjustments to the list are… welcome.
