Planet Math (http://planetmath.org/) is a collaborative encyclopedia
based on LaTeX, with some restrictions to maintain a coherent look and

installed on any machine, the software required is downloadable from
their web site. Maybe this could help solving the problem ?
This looks extremely interesting. I will try that out. Thanks very much
for this pointer (I tried so many google searches, this did not show up)
In case you don't need a lot of math (which I doubt), the MimeTeX plugin
can be used:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MimeTeX
It was installed at wiki.lyx.org, and it works by taking a piece of LaTeX
equation, convert it to an image and embedding that image. However, I
think I removed it because it also allowed you to generate an image that
contained /etc/passwd ...

PS. If you trust your users, and use e.g. a VCS to send files to a central
repository, you could set up the system so that when the files are sent to
the central repository, the server automatically runs LaTeX on the files.
This could of course also be done with .lyx-files.
(Which reminds me that we should perhaps do this for the LyX
documentation? Or at least script it, so that we can generate it on the
server.)
