If the images are in a scrolling page that is simple - like today - or
fading in, like https://www.withcoach.com - or in a slide JS, like
https://github.com/impress/impress.js/wiki/Examples-and-demos - is a
secondary question.

For me, the primary questions are, what is the visual styleguide that can
be applied to all 3 above options and many more situations, and what is the
content that the style guide is applied to?

That content exists outside of the visual design; and the visual design
exists outside of the content.

The content can be planned by mapping a conversion funnel with stage goals
into a coherent structure of pages expressed in an "information
architecture" site map diagram.

The styleguide shows patterns of color, type, and so on.

I would prioritize/order them as: homepage, activities.sugarlabs.org, wiki,
lists, planet, translations, bugs

Which Sugar Lab’s logo color is going to be adopted: orange, green or blue?

As I understand it - might be wrong - there isn't a single colour; the
brand guidelines specify that a range of colors are used in a consistent
pattern, and the brand identity is in the pattern.

https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Logo

However, I think if there was to be one color, it would be the bright green
ones (to match the bright green of the XOs)

What color schemes would you prefer to use on Sugar Lab’s websites?

I think it would be good to use a material design scheme, with a the grey
scheme as primary, and the light green scheme as secondary.

I agree

I think the existing CMS for each site are fine:

homepage, jeykll (https://github.com/sugarlabs/www-sugarlabs)

activities.sugarlabs.org, mozilla addons

wiki, mediawiki

lists, mailman2

planet, planet

translations, pootle

bugs, trac
