Hello,
I am going to teach a graduate-level course on quantum physics (quantum simulation) at the University of Hannover, Germany. At the moment, I am evaluating Wikiversity for collaboration with other lecturers and students on the creation of lecture notes.
As the notes will contain a significant amount of mathematical content, it would be extremely useful to export into LaTeX format for distributing printed copies. As far as I know, the Wiki2LaTeX extension to MediaWiki [1] provides this function. Would it be possible to include this extension into Wikiversity?
Best regards,
Hendrik

That's a large extension, which means the review effort would be non-trivial (Although just looking at it, I noticed a couple lines which look suspicious). Its probably unlikely to be deployed unless people _really_ wanted it (due to the amount of review required). If it was to be reviewed, the process of reviewing it would probably take a long time (So probably out of your time frame).
Thus I don't think its likely to be installed :(
