are there any plans to add features to DVC ?
expand on its capabilities like. or is it going to stay as a simple currency

i've just been looking around and i find it hard to track what is happening
Add features, of course!
At the moment development is stuck because we're trying to get enough hashpower to test the client on the live network. Devcoins being merge-mined means it's very hard to mine a block.
If you're a BTC miner, or you know miners you can help the cause by promoting
http://blisterpool.com, which is a 0% fee p2pool node testing the new client, and it needs miners. Until the end of march it's paying a 60 DVC per GH/s per day bonus too, which is on top of any actual bitcoins mined or devcoins merge-mined.
