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.

Docbook gets my vote, especially when one considers the html and pdf

I prefer LaTex too, the reason is same. Academic background :) and new
found love in LaTex
