I would say that we should use it for all of the "major" applications.
I wouldn't use it for anything on the launcher, except maybe things
that are Canonical (or Ubuntu) related -- like Ubuntu Settings and
Ubuntu One, but not necessarily for Libre-*.
Then, I can work through adding \index tags.

is referencing a feature or option that might not be discussed in an other
section of the manual, then it s
