Indeed. Once the ports have been inserted into the database, those wiki
pages can be removed.
Each database level (category, ports, version, revison) is linked to a
wiki page. Empty wiki pages are created when they don't exist yet (on
submitting the AddPort form). I have done this so that the links in the
Trac wiki don't look right (otherwise it's a grey link with a question
mark appended). I forgot to automatically add empty wiki pages for the
category wiki pages, so that the PortLog page shows all these gray
links. I will add them manually later.
I did not overwrite the existing wiki pages (port pages) from Assembla,
so their content can manually be moved to the corresponding revision
pages. Once the content is moved, the old pages are obsolete and may be
removed.

That is the idea indeed. The port wiki pages can be used to store
general information concerning the port (Haiku/BeOS-specific). The same
goes for the version pages.
I should probably write a wiki page on how the new PortLogPlugin
functionality should be used...

P.S. I hope to enable access to the SVN repository this weekend. No
promises however :/
