Sure, I should get around to that :-) Really I'd like to make a docker image or similarly repeatable environment that can do builds -- right now it's way too tied to my own environment.

Also: I'm not sure org-mode -> TeX was a great idea.

I used to use org-mode exporting to reveal.js for doing slides. Unfortunately this turned out to be a bit of a pain to get everything set up, especially when collaborating with people who for some have failed to embrace the One True Religion^H Editor. So in the end I changed to using Markdown and pandoc to convert to reveal.js.

As a bonus, using pandoc to convert my org sources to markdown worked reasonably well.

Yep, I took exactly the same path. Still use org-reveal sometimes but pandoc is really great and anything-to-anything :)
I use www.leanpub.com for this and love them. They make publishing trivial, give you all the freedom and only take a small cut.
I looked at them before and they couldn’t do the illustration generation I needed, but maybe with some preprocessing on my side and some on theirs :)
