It may be a bit too early to make infrastructure decisions, but have you 
looked at Sphinx (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/) for actually writing the 
book? I think it's a pretty good fit, since it's designed for writing 
documentation, it takes care of a lot of the "infrastructure" stuff, and 
it can output to HTML and LaTeX. (It's written in Python, which some 
people may consider a downside, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.)

Also, it may be a good idea to set up a separate mailing list or Google 
Group for the cookbook project, to avoid crowding lua-l or the project 
wiki with discussion.
