I'm not sure of all the ins and outs of licensing yet, so I'm not sure
if that is binding or not. If it is, that is fine by me and I'll
mention you didn't wish to claim ownership.

Bear in mind though, I'm not representing Devuan, so it's more of just
translation of my wiki docs rather than all Devuan docs. I'm not sure
how to go about translating personally, as my second language skills
are very limited.

The wiki pages are here:
https://git.devuan.org/dev1fanboy/Upgrade-Install-Devuan/wikis/home

The original text from the quickstart guide posted here is a little
outdated compared to the above (I might try to replace that with a more
complete 'manual'), and translations of anything on the wiki is
prefered. My reason for mentioning it is I remembered people wanted to
translate, and even if it's a little outdated or needs fixing any
finished translations may be helpful to someone still. Anyone should
free to fix anything they found that doesn't work from whichever page
and if you let me know the problem (put subject wiki docs or so to my
mailbox) I can fix it in english too for more recent versions, it's all
CC-BY-SA 4.0 (GPL compatible) :)
