Everything seems to work at http://wikisophia.org/wiki/Wikitex , so why has this not been implemented yet?
Well, if it's working, it has been implemented. IIRC it's Peter Danenberg's project.
If you're asking about why we don't have it set up on Wiki*edia.org, this is in part because whenever I've asked about whether the shelled-out programs have been checked for security problems [arbitrary shell command execution and things like that] I hear nothing encouraging (and not much at all) in response, mainly to the effect that some new version of lilypond has a safe mode of some kind, but is not yet supported.
It does not (as I for some reason had assumed) seem to be part of MediaWiki 1.4. Is this being saved for 2.0?
It's an extension, not part of MediaWiki.
