I've been working on the wiki and reviewing controller mappings lately. 
I did a little editing to the language of the DJ Hardware Guide 
(http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/hardware_compatibility ), split the 
custom caps section to its own page, and revived the old headphones 
section on its own page.

In reviewing mappings, it has become apparent that there should be 
guidelines on how to handle main & headphone gain knobs on controllers.
I added a section to the Contributing Mappings page 
(http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/contributing_mappings#main_headphone_gain_knobs 
) with some guidelines and started a new page 
(http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/operating_system_mixer ) with 
information about adjusting sound card levels. It would be great if 
others could contribute details and screenshots to the new Operating 
System Mixer page.

Two cases that I'd like to ask about is when a controller has a sound 
card without any gain controls or doesn't have a sound card but does 
have main & headphone gain controls. In these cases, should the controls 
be mapped to the software gains in Mixxx or not? If they should be 
mapped, then I think the controller's wiki page should advise users not 
to use them in most cases and link to the OS Mixer page.

I also split the Contributing Mappings page into smaller sections and 
put a bit more context in the introduction. I added a little section on 
documenting how microphone inputs work too.
