Hello,

having been a user of the grobner package, i think that it seems to work 
OK as it is. Maybe it is slow, there are  faster algorithms implemented 
elsewhere notably the F4 and F5 Faugère algorithms in Maple and Magma, 
but it is a limitation of the concept that for a complicated enough 
problem, the grobner computation will take "infinite" time. Also the 
grobner basis obtained will depend of the ordering of the polynomial 
set, so chance is a factor here.

In fact the author Rychlick has written an extension of his code, long 
ago, introducing colored variables and such stuff which are useful for 
solving algebraically problems in geometry, a well known application of 
this business. At the time i took a copy of this program, you can take 
it at:

https://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~talon/rychlik_CGBLisp.tgz

There is another implementation of grobner basis in maxima, that can be 
found in share/affine, due to the late William Shelter. A long long time 
ago it seemed to work, slower than the Rychlick implementation, but 
since the package affine was written for doing algebraic geometry on an 
affine map of an algebraic variety, for non commutative variables, it is 
possible it was working for non commutative polynomials. However when i 
have tried to play with this stuff more recently almost nothing worked 
and there is essentially zero documentation.  Maybe this is extremely 
interesting but short of understanding all the code, which probably 
requires a lot of work done by specialists of the subject.
