Can I just mention a Latex MediaWiki extension I discovered at Wikimania this year?
http://lalashan.mcmaster.ca/theobio/worden/index.php/Lee_Worden_Research_Wiki

(paper: http://lalashan.mcmaster.ca/theobio/worden/index.php/Cascades_Paper
extensione: http://lalashan.mcmaster.ca/theobio/worden/index.php/Lee_Worden_Research_Wiki
and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WorkingWiki)

I think it's awesome: you can directly compile the PDF within the wiki, so you can write and edit the Latex file collaboratively on wiki.
I would love to have this extension on Wikisource, but I heard that it has security problems. Maybe you can find someone interested working on it during your IEG. Me and Micru did like that in our IEG, harnessing the Google Summer of Code. 
Now there is something called Google Code In, maybe it's useful enough.

Please be aware of - and where appropriate, lend your support to -
this Individual Engagement Grant proposal:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/PlanetMath_Books_Project --
which I've put together with PlanetMath contributor Raymond Puzio.

Inspired by the PlanetMath Exchange project on Wikipedia, our aim with
this proposal is to improve the PlanetMath platform and make it easy
to produce mathematics textbooks, for export to places like
Wikisource.  In particular, part of the grant proposal focuses on
developing novel approaches to mathematics OCR and proofreading, using
a combination of off-the-shelf and new open source systems.

Your endorsement of the grant proposal would mean a lot!

Please note: although we are targeting English initially in with the
proposal (as a demo), this will be relevant to other language
communities as well.  I've announced the project on the English
language Wikisource Scriptorum, but if you can spread the word to
other language communities, please do.  And please let me know if you
have any questions as well!
