If we get GSOC funding I could supervise various projects, depending on interest (though probably only one of these): * sparse matrices: Sage currently uses generic sparse matrices for almost every base ring. * cleaning up coercion: many parts of Sage still use the old coercion system. It would be great to transition everything to the new model * global quaternion algebras ramified at more than two places. * group representations: Come up with a framework in Sage for working with representations of groups (both finite and infinite). Some of this would use GAP behind the scenes, and some of it would be coded within Sage.
I'm also open to other projects that fall in the algebra/number theory realm within Sage.
