You can either pot them up and get them started, provided you have a really nice warm place and bright light to put them into. I'd guess if you had that, you wouldn't have stored them dormant though.
So you might as well wait. If you pot them up and water them in and they're not in a good warm place with plenty of sun, you'll just kill them anyway. They'd most likely just rot.
When it grows new leaves after being put outside- they will be accustomed to whatever situation they're being grown in. If you have a greenhouse to start them in, the leaves won't be used to the outside, so they'd have to be hardened off like a tomato plant, etc.
