My Devuan-Knowledge base (unofficial) on Github Pages. Few Questions

[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:
https://chitibus.github.io/devuan-kb/intro/about_site/

[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.

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

Also, github is Microsoft and not acompany to keep.

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.

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.

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