You only need one release form for every photographer-model pair. If
you're uploading a lot of images to the wiki, you can just put something
down like "Soundra-martin-0001 through 0005.jpg" in the filename box.

IMO photos should focus on a few people. Large group photos would need
everyone to sign the form, I think. So if you did get a photo of
everybody at Brno for the picture book, you'll need everyone to sign a
form. I'm relatively sure this is what Spot would say but I'll check if
you want me to.

Go ahead and fix the instructions as you see fit then.
