2s in the wiki... you find that:

  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
    function() 
        local xml = xmlLoadFile("welcome.xml")             -- open the XML file 
        local messageNodes = xmlNodeGetChildren(xml)       -- get all child nodes of the root node () 
        g_WelcomeMessages = {}                             -- create a new global variable to store the welcome messages 
        for i,node in ipairs(messageNodes) do              -- loop over all the message nodes 
            g_WelcomeMessages[i] = xmlNodeGetValue(node)   -- retrieve the text in each node 
        end 
        xmlUnloadFile(xml)                                 -- close the XML file 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), 
    function() 
        local numMessages = #g_WelcomeMessages                        -- get the number of messages 
        local message = g_WelcomeMessages[math.random(numMessages)]   -- pick a random message 
        outputChatBox(message, source, 0, 255, 0)                     -- display it to the joining player 
    end 
  

Result:
