    Hi from germany,

    I now have worked with your nice plugin for several days now and I am quite happy with it. It makes collecting petition signs an easy task, and besides the little flaws we found togehter, it works like a charm. So here’s at first a big thank you for your work!

    However, I came up with a probably enhancement, to make this one even better. How about having an addition, where one could send out a sort of an advertising mail with a link to the petition form? The petition itself works as expected, but it would be perfect, if one could “spread the word” 😉

    I am loosely thinking of a simple CPT, i.e. “petition-receivers”, where one could administer some basic data like first and last name and email address. Would be glad if i could help out with something, like translation or some code bits.

    I now go to Tunisia for ten days, even a webguy like me needs some holiday every now and then. Would be glad to hearing from you after my return.

    Thanks again and Kudos for your work so far! And of course I gave your plugin a five star review!

    Thanks for your kind words and contributions. I am not sure I understand what you are after with being able to spread the word. There is a facebook and twitter share button. Do you mean having an email share as well?

    Let’s say you have a csv file or similar with contact data of a hundred persons. I imagine to import this into WordPress as a custom post type and send out an advertisement with a link to the petition to all of these persons. That means, we have to check if one of those emails allready has signed the petition before sending out the mass mail. You get the idea? After my return I could start with a prototype, if you like. But a week of holiday first 😉

    OK I understand. This is a fairly complex task and for the amount of effort compared to how many people I think would use it – just you? :o) – I don’t think I have the time.

    I would welcome your contribution if you have the skills.

    Back from Tunisisa. Well, let’s see, if I have enough skills for that 😉 Would you like to see this function as a complementary plugin, or should I develop a separate class that you can instantiate in your own plugin?

    I am happy to incorporate it if you are happy to contribute it. Please comment heavily ;o)
