Hi Dr. F,
Some material is available right now. Having one page that consolidates this material is in the works.
Enjoy what is available right now though.
1) FIRST Robotics Competition: Joystick Motor Control in 10 Minutes
2) FIRST Robotics: WPI Library Overview
As far as the Driver Station, it definitely supports joystick input. I, myself, have operated two joysticks simultaneously with the Driver Station.
