That would not work anyway, because the history stack of LR and dt are
different.
But beforehand it would be interesting perhaps to read this:
http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/non_destructive_imaging.pdf
which gives a good explanation of "non destructive editing".
Some programs write history stack into a dng like lightroom, others
don't like dt.
From file integrity point of view it's never a good idea to write into
a raw file.

I saw a youtube "Raw edit of the week" where the author J. Polin and his
co work on the same raw file and compare their results afterwards. They
use DNG for this, as the history stack gets saved into it and the other
one can easily see which steps were taken while editing.
I wanted to do the same with a friend of mine who works with Lightroom,
as a means to improve our editing skills.
Could you think of an alternative - it doesn't have to be DNG if it can
be solved another way.

Hi,
is there any means to export to DNG? I don't find it in the export
format list, but HDR generate seems to build a DNG, thus I guess DT is
able to deal with DNG? Am I missing s.th.?
Why do you want to do that?
If your goal is to convert your RAW files into DNG without any
processing, then dngconverter from Kipi-plugins does this very well (and
the adobe DNG converter can be used for free even though it's not "free
software").
If your goal is to save to a lossless format after processing, then DNG
does not seem to be a good idea to me. For example, DNG usually stores
the pixels in bayer format, and you clearly don't want to re-mosaic your
image at the end of the pipeline. By the end of darktable's pipeline, a
target color profile is applied, and it's stored in the generated image
file. I'm not sure DNG would do a good job at this.
OTOH, there are lossless-compression and high bit depth images format
like 16 bits PNG or TIFF and OpenEXR. I don't think DNG would have any
benefit over these for processed images.
