Since OLPC went out of the software business, this is pretty much  
obsolete. For issues specific to running in Sugar, use

http://dev.sugarlabs.org/

If you suspect it has to do with the XO hardware, then dev.laptop.org  
would still be appropriate.

Both would be most useful. At least until we established some  
procedure to cross-merge changes.

I'd file a report on either of the two, and link to it in the other.  
Which one is primary would depend on the issue - if it directly  
affects Etoys users I'd say squeakland, otherwise squeak.org.

Not in 4.0 yet. But in the long term I hope that Squeakland Etoys will  
again at least share a base with the squeak.org release, and possibly  
even be one flavor of it. Ideas welcome.

Unlikely, although the exact way it's going to work is not fixed yet.
