I do not plan on implementing a GUI for this myself, but if others want to build a GUI around it that might be cool. Personally I think it would take more work than it's worth and I am doubtful it would remove the need to manually write JavaScript. Perhaps it could be helpful as a way to get started with a mapping. However, every program I've used that autogenerated code from a GUI made messy code that took a lot of work to clean up before starting to manually edit it. I'd rather provide a generic template script and good documentation to help people get started. I have tried to do that with recent updates to the Components wiki page: http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/components_js but I'm sure it could still use a lot more editing.
