There are bigger changes than migrations happening in DM right now. I had sat in on a conversation with Sam Smoot about the possibilities of making DM being able to work with more than just a database, but also with LDAP, XML, etc. Basically, DM will be Active Record and Active Resource in one, out of the box. Sam's working on the dm_core (and a rewrite of data objects) right now, which will eventually provide this type of functionality and a lot of other ideas that are brewing.
I should be at this meeting on Thursday and I too have a few Github invites left, if anyone wants one. Rack and Thin are also some interesting things as well - Rack in Merb and what you can do with that and how you can use within your merb apps to handle specific types of requests that will never touch your merb app, but instead hit your rack app, inside your merb app. I've been doing some stuff with that that has been quite fun. Ezra also put up a good post about it on his blog.
