Description-en: easily generate fake data
This gem provides a port of Data::Faker from Perl, which can be used to easily
generate fake data: names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. It comes in very
handy for taking screenshots, having real-looking test data, and having your
database populated with more than one or two records while you're doing
development.
