[Labs-l] MediaWiki to LaTeX Compiler

[Dirk Hünniger]

Hi,
the stuff is running for quite a while now.

http://mediawiki2latex.wmflabs.org/

But only very few people are using it.
So if you got any idea on how to change that just let me know.
So either there is actually no one who needs LaTeX versions of Wikipedia 
articles, or the people who need them don't find the server, but I don't 
see that there is anything I can do about it unless perhaps try to link 
it from the book generator, but permission for that would require strong 
requests for that from the community which currently does not exist. And 
I don't know how to create it.
Yours Dirk
