thanks for your offer. The best way I see is:
* translating all your docs into English (I know ;) )
* at the same time, convert it to rst [0] (a very simple text based
markup syntax that we use for main QGIS documentation)
* divide it in reasonably small chunks
* add it to main QGIS doc, as a pull request against [1]
* re-add the French translation
* ideally, it would be very good to add a simple web configurator for
docs, where an user could choose which parts to combine in its custom
manual (e.g. adding only the introductory sections, and those specific
for his field of expertise).

I'm sure this will bring a noticeable advantage for you too, as more
people will be able to contribute and maintain your material.

All the best.
