You might like to know that there is a more recent free MediaWiki-to-LaTeX project that is actively maintained by Dirk Hünninger and can be tried out on WMF Labs: https://mediawiki2latex.wmflabs.org/ I understand that Dirk produced some PDF versions for German Wikibooks, but I do not know whether he is still contributing. I put Dirk in CC to let him know we speak of matters LaTeX. Maybe he would like to join the conversation.
