Hi Pere, good to hear from you again.

1. Nick Alexander's suggestions (e.g., coding theory over rings) are good ones.

2. Another problem is to write code to compute the automorphism group of
a linear code. It is surprisingly hard to write a fast algorithm to do
this, even
in the case of binary linear codes. I think this is an important
problem though.

3. At http://cadigweb.ew.usna.edu/%7Ewdj/gap/GUAVA/guava2do.html
there is a list of projects for GUAVA, most or all of which are also
possible SAGE
projects.

4. Two projects which I'm working on are
(a) the zeta function of a linear code. There is an "experimental"
version in the current SAGE distribution (look in linear_code.py)
but I've completely rewritten it and no longer regard the code I have
as experimental. If and when I get time I'll submit a patch (not
until spring break at least).
(b) A complete description of the genus 0 AG codes. I'm not sure if SAGE's
divisor classes even work in genus 0 so this may not be completed for
quite awhile.

If any of this sounds interesting, please let me know.

- David
