The write up on the ideas page for the group theory idea gives some questions to think about. The current group theory in SymPy just uses explicit permutation groups (basically a list of permutations), but this has many limitations. I personally think it would be great if you could represent groups more symbolically, e.g., just from a set of generators and identities (I'm only thinking about finite groups; I know for infinite free groups this can be an intractable problem).
