I did the same for libusb-win32 and re-direct it to the Trac Wiki
page. But it has the same problem of being slow. The content
is also not that well-organized and there is no nice doxygen
documentation. However, Trac web page seems to be nicer
than MediaWiki as the portal page. Still I agree having
a portal page which is faster and more customizable is
better than both MediaWiki and Trac.

I do not want to use Trac for libusb-win32 ticket but I do not
know how to disable it.

Yes this is good. A simple one should do.
