Iam looking for an alternative to XNA with support of model loading.

Does anybody know when/if there if a MonoGame release is planned which includes its own content pipeline which works without XNA beeing installed?

If not, what are the alternatives in managed game development?

As far as I know, SlimDX and SharpDX on its own brings no functionality for loading models.

Are there any open source libraries that can do that?
