Yeah that's why I don't use github. I don't know if gitea has the same ability to make a page like that for a wiki of sorts, but I post my stuff to git.devuan.org which now that i've gotten to understand it better is very user-friendly, and no worries about evil. wink

Did a quick research, I think gitea can do as well. Thank you greenjeans!

First, Thank you for your response!

I know that Mr. Denis Roio (jaromil) is an important person in the Devuan project. I didn't know exactly his role.
I started this more like a personal project, first time when I did a site by myself and I choose github from the technical point of view: is simple, free as long as the repository is public, it has all the needed infrastructure to run such a small project and I don't know anything about hosting . Yes, in the end maybe is not the best idea to host it there. Still, I am happy that my test succeeded, in the end and I saw that can be done. Now I made the repo private and the site is offline.
I wouldn't abandon my idea. I still think a small handbook for Devuan will be useful, for myself sure it is. Probably I will try to contact Mr. Roio.

"Devuan" is trademarked, so you will need to discuss with Dyne (jaromil) about that.

Also, github is Microsoft and not acompany to keep.

[context]
About two weeks ago somebody created this post:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=8078
And I had a small comment saying that Void Linux has a small, valuable handbook and would be nice if Devuan would have something similar.

I haven't touched any html/css code for years, and also my knowledge is very limited. But now there are new tools (such Hugo which I learned and use it, plus AI ) to help building such a site.

So, I succeeded doing the skeleton and just published to Github pages. There is no valuable content, yet. My Linux/Devuan knowledge is, let's say, decent, but what I have and what I will learn during my journey of using Devuan, I would like to have it also in this format and make it public. I like the Void handbook and I will try to stick to their concept, without having just a clone.

Here is the link:

[My questions]
Now, I was wondering if I am allowed to do this, if I am allowed to use the Devuan Logo on my site, for example?
My site specify that is an unofficial site.
How much information can I take from Devuan site, if I am allowed?
I don't know too much about licensing, so I was thinking that is better to ask here.
If my intention is considered inappropriate, then I will delete the Github repository.
