It's not current yet, but in a couple of months we'll be launching a
"pick list" of Processing Model ETL improvements. This won't be a
traditional crowd funding campaign, but rather a set of individually
priced, atomic improvements to Processing/Graphical Modeler which
brings it closer to parity with FME/other ETL tools. Prices for each
individual item will range from 30EU -> 500EU, and we'll be asking
sponsors to entirely fund each item in entirety. Think of it like an
"à la carte" menu of improvements for models!
