This is an excellent extension. Many Tanaka for this.
It has made it possible for people who would not normally have been able to attach pdf files etc. to content articles to do so with ease. There is a way of doing this without the extension, but it is so convoluted that none of my site contributors ever managed it and it meant I had to do it for them.
One suggestion. The term "attachments" is normally associated with emails and is not normally used on websites. Perhaps substituting the title "Downloads" would be clearer? Perhaps it could be made an option?

I have got this component working OK. The built in captcha works fine when it is enabled in the component parameters (in the Petition section) as well as in the menu component parameters.
Not all of the petition form field labels are translated into English, but most of them are and the form is intelligible. The title, country of origin drop down menus and the "Sign" and "Erase" buttons are still in French ("Signer" and "Effacer"), but I don't think this a big deal. People might be a little bemused by the incomplete translation, but it doesn't seem to stop them signing it.
I am studying PHP at the time of writing and I did have a go at trying to complete the translation, but haven't succeeded thus far. If anyone could post a step by step idiot's guide to doing this, I would be grateful. :)
This is the only purpose built Joomla petition extension and it is a shame that language options are not available. Petitions are essential in a democratic society.
