As of now the workflow is something like, I import an SVN or a CVS repository and then compile a document locally on my machine to get either a ps or a pdf file. But I was wondering if there is a Web front-end to do all the stuff, like for instance, an editor using which you can edit the file online and then download just the pdf file by compiling it?

Any suggestions?

A: 

If you mean online LaTeX compilers, then there are two I know of - at baywifi.com (to PDF) and at ScienceSoft (to several formats). Haven't seen any full editors, though.

Thanks for that. I was actually looking for something like git (or svn for version control) and wordpress (for document editing) and small front-end (to click on a button to compile the directory)... Something similar to those lines... Am not sure if this is too much but something like this would be awesome.. Any thoughts?

latex-lab will build on top of the google apps editor base... scribtex is hosted only it looks like.

Thanks.. Currently looking at them... ScribTeX has a backend called MathWiki project though the author claims that it is not yet production ready...

There is a CMS based on Latex out there at www.osreviews.net.

Another to add to the list is TeXonWeb.

This one has the most packages available I think.

This is less of a web-based interface than a simple drag-and-drop cgi script that converts latex syntax to a graphic... http://www.forkosh.dreamhost.com/source_mimetex.html
