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The original text from the quickstart guide posted here is a little outdated compared to the above (I might try to replace that with a more complete 'manual'), and translations of anything on the wiki is prefered. My reason for mentioning it is I remembered people wanted to translate, and even if it's a little outdated or needs fixing any finished translations may be helpful to someone still.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) :)

Hallo Fanboy,

I killed some time translating your quick start guide to german, see
attachment. My translation of "configuring minimalism" is probably a
bit square-edged.

Some things that came to my mind when working on it:

- It might be nice to mention the possible removal of gnome a bit
 earlier ;-)
- On systems with installed recommends, I use debfoster with
 "-o UseRecommends=no" to clear them out. This allows you to decide
 for every package if you want to keep/remove/prune it. If unsure, you
 can get information on the package in question before removing it.
- JWM is another dbus-free window manager, very lightweight but still
 reasonably usable for a if-you-don't-know-it-you-need-it audience.

Regarding a copyright: In 2015, although I usually (have to) trust the certificate authorities myself, I don't want to see my name in context with a document that recommends this practice to the public. I hope you
can still use it somehow – I won't reclaim any rights on it.

Finally, regarding translations in general: Is there already some
infrastructure for the versioning of documents and their translations,
any resources on how (and if) to translate common terms to different
languages and also a communication platform for (wannabe) translators?
Before starting the internationalization of the Devuan documentation,
it might be good to have a sturdy manual on that topic.

Regards,

Florian
