Agreed. The first issue is to find a developer interested in doing this,
and opening the crowdfunding.
I understand most Processing gurus are superbusy nowadays.
Any taker?
All the best.

​Thank you for your input Filipe!

​Crowdfunding initiatives so far​ were initiated by a dev who was
interested to advance a certain feature. It would be great if somebody
would step forward for Processing because I also think that chances for a
successful funding campaign are quite good.

Best wishes,
Anita

Hi,

Despite the lack of financial investment QGIS-Processing is, in my opinion,
the best tool for GIS analysis in the market (including paid software).
However there are a few problems (like the one mentioned above) that can
discourage new users and ruin user experience.

I think some paid development time would certainly help QGIS- processing a
lot. For instance QGIS-Processing multi-threaded support seems to be
finished or close but still hasn't been merged into master (I assume
because no developer had the time to review it).

If the sponsors are not interested in financing Processing, then
crowdfunding would be a nice alternative. I would certainly be willing to
contribute.

[Qgis-developer] Processing regression: OGR algs cannot be used in models

[Anita Graser]

Hi,

​I'd like to draw some attention to a really nasty OGR issue/regression
which makes it impossible to use OGR algos in models:
http://hub.qgis.org/issues/13174

In general, this is kind of a follow upon of the thread "GRASS missing from
Processing?" where Paolo summarized:

​I assume most of the paid development is currently not aimed towards
geoprocessing. Paying users so far seem quite focused on cartographic
abilities and data management but much less on spatial analysis.

​What would it take to get a Processing testing framework up and running as
discussed in https://hub.qgis.org/issues/5807?

There's been success with crowd-funding initiatives in the past. Is there
any dev who would want to focus on this?

Best wishes,
Anita
