A question not asked, for perhaps it is obvious, is who is the
intended audience for each web site.

You might ask systems@ for a list of virtual hosts.

Some may benefit from style changes, if consistency of style is
critical;

	help.sugarlabs.org
	socialhelp.sugarlabs.org
	developer.sugarlabs.org

There is old information about Sugar on wiki.laptop.org.  If you need
an account to remove or redirect on wiki.laptop.org, contact me.

I don't think it matters.

I don't think it matters.

No.  Something with git integration would be helpful so that
developers can link Sugar source code changes with changes to web
sites.  Otherwise a change might be made in only one place, leading to
inconsistency.
