There is a wxmaxima project page at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxmaxima/ , you can post patches at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxmaxima/develop and if you have
questions specific to wxmaxima you can use the forum at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxmaxima/forums/forum/435775 .

wxmaxima does not use TeX to display math. GUIs which use TeX are
texmacs and imaxima and the latest version of KDE includes Cantor,
which I think uses TeX too.
