Currently each mapped element gets only one input on the form, allow users to add more elements or admins to specify that there should be more elements.

The backend stuff for this already exists as a natural part of the way you specify metadata when adding items to Omeka.

This remaining questions are really just functionality/UX: should the admin be specifying the min/max number of fields, should the user be able to append additional copies of any/some fields... some combination of the two?

I can see the merit in all those options, but the real question is how much of that configurability can we reasonably present to the admin and/or the contributing user?

Minima and maxima seem like features that might end up being used pretty rarely, and it might be a better idea in the long run to just have "add an input" buttons on the frontend like on the normal backend, possibly with a simple toggle to let the admin disable them.
