In coordination with the rest of the User Guide team, you want to
upload them to the git repository.

To start, install git:

  sudo yum install git

Then, clone the repository:

  git clone ssh://<username>@git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/userguide.git

The repository is entirely blank, save for an initiating file (I
think.)

From there you want to install Publican, create a blank book, put that
in the repository, and then start adding your XML files.

  cd userguide/
  sudo yum install publican
  ...
  create_book --name=User_Guide --brand=fedora --lang=en-US --type=Book
  cp /path/to/converted/*.xml User_Guide/en-US/

Using Publican is covered in the Publican guide:

  https://fedorahosted.org/publican

Using git, there are a number of good tutorials.  You can start here:

  http://book.git-scm.com/index.html

Similarly to the XML, we want to get working code, configurations, and
usage READMEs in to the 'fedora-doc-utils' repository:

  https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-doc-utils/

That way other people can do the conversions, etc.
