I'm interested in such things and I have a question bank which I'm building 
(this very week) in this direction.  For the moment, I'm trying to come up 
with something that could help me generate paper homework and paper review 
sheets very quickly (along with solutions).  However, I'm developing my 
questions with an eye to electronic use.

MapleTA is very complicated and I think that we could do much much better with 
something opensource.  I've said as much to my University, but they seem 
quite set on MapleTA for the moment.  It's a shame because I think the whole 
thing might flop precisely because they are set on that product.
