In my opinion, Trac must be a agregator for all tools/resources needed 
by people involved in development.
Basically, 3 ways are available :
 - Trac internal feature (ticket, roadmap, timeline, ...)
 - Trac plugins (see http://trac-hacks.org/)
 - in Wiki page, just a link to an external resource

So, the site parrot.org must only contain general information, like :  
Parrot Foundation,  Sponsors & Partners,  Public Relation, ...
