Hello, I'm David Lucas, one of the two mentors of this "Rank-metric codes" project.
Glad to hear you found our project interesting! To give you a short history of the project: In October 2014, we started working on a two-year project related to coding theory at Inria (France). The goal of this project is to enhance the existing coding theory library in Sage, by implementing classical code families (generalized Reed-Solomon codes, cyclic codes, BCH codes etc) as classes in Sage, alongside with classical decoding algorithms. You can see the page of the project, and what we did so far here: [1]. So far, we redesigned the API of the library, introduced a mechanism to handle encoding and decoding, and implemented some code families and decoding algorithms. I'm maintaining a list of all tickets related to ACTIS, you can check it here [2]. But for now, we only considered codes under the Hamming metric. While rank-metric is a research topic of interest these days, it seems interesting to have it in Sage. Hence this GSoC project ;) As I dont't want to spam the list with technical details, you can email me for any question at (david [dot] lucas [at] inria.fr).
