Some people asked me to repost a response I wrote about 6.68 development from a forum thread:
With regards to the video trailer, I was originally planning to post it well in advance of the map release but I've decided to hold off on making it until more content is finalized. I'll post previews here when the map is mostly ready.

maybe some form of i am roughly x% of the way through to give us some sort of idea would be nice.

And like you said, if I posted "June 26" and I missed it by a week or two, people would be upset. I also don't want to make my development goal be a date rather than the content, that style of development makes it easy to make bad decisions. I can tell you that I'll do my best to make sure any wait is worthwhile though. The only thing on my mind is DotA's development and future.
As for your request, I'd say its definitely much more than half way through.
