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?
This is a list for general Wikimedia development. Decision about project
X are mostly taken by project X and you should start discussing them
there. For instance, if you want a feature for the German Wikiversity (I
assume your content would be in German) a place to start is
http://de.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Cafeteria
Aber moment! ;)
Before asking for a solution be sure you are formulating the right
problem. Isn't the PDF export enough to print Wikiversity content
appropriately, including mathematical content? You can already write and
display mathematical content in Wikiversity and other Wikimedia
projects. Anyway, you ill probably get more from the Wikiversity community.

Also note that this extension is (afaik) not deployed in Wikimedia
servers. Adding a new extension there is a big deal, so you want to see
whether you can solve your problems with the current MediaWiki +
extensions deployed in Wikimedia servers.
