ANN: Holidays 0.9.1 released and call for contributors

Alex Dunae

The Ruby holidays gem has been released and I'm looking for
contributors to help create regional holiday definition files. This
gem provides a set of functions for looking up public holidays around
the world.

A quick example:

require 'holidays'
require 'holidays/ca'

# Lookup Canada Day
date = Date.civil(2007,7,1)
Holidays.by_day(date, :ca)
=> [{:name => 'Canada Day',...}]

# Canada Day is July 1 except when July 1 is a Sunday, then it moves
to
# July 2
date = Date.civil(2007,7,2)
Holidays.by_day(date, :ca, :observed)
=> [{:name => 'Canada Day',...}]

# Check if this is a holiday in British Columbia, Canada
date.holiday?(:ca_bc)
=> true

There are a lot of countries in the world and contributors are invited
to create or improve a holiday definition file for any region. Sample
definition files can be found at http://code.dunae.ca/svn/holidays/t...
- get in touch if you would like to help out: alex [at] dunae dot ca.
