[ros-users] Wiki documentation for twist_mux package

[Mike Purvis]

Agree, but I think teleop and muxers in particular are a bit of a special
case. They're so easy to write, and are a decent learning opportunity, so a
lot of them get created by novices in the learning process, and then
unwittingly made available as "universal" or "generic".

If you're integrating a robot and need either of these services, I
encourage you to check out the ros-teleop org on github
<https://github.com/ros-teleop>.

Even within the org, there's slight repetition, but the basic idea is that
joy_teleop and key_teleop are python-implemented and very flexible, able to
publish *any* message based on configuration from a yaml file, whereas
teleop_twist_joy is specifically for publishing twist messages, and is C++
implemented, intended to be able to easily compile into a larger "base
robot" node.

The twist_mux package does what it says on the tin, and is similarly easy
to embed into another process.
