Sorry, but LaTex is not a viable solution for open source community development of documentation. DocBook (XML) is one solution, another is DITA.
I'm looking into some other open source communities that I'm familiar with to see what they're using.

The general requirement for authoring/publishing tools would be something like:
1. tools themselves are open source
2. free
3. available on nearly all platforms (W/XP, Linux, MacOSX, Solaris, ...)
4. generates at least pdf, HTML,
5. includes source management/version control
6. provides some opportunity for localization

We'll discuss this more once our docs email alias is established, which could be later today. Watch for an announcement from Jeff Squyres.
