The purpose of reviewing an index is to see what is missing, hard
to find, needs combining (eg singulars/plurals of same term),
needs to be made into subentries (in addition to or in place of
main entries), needs to be made into main entries (in addition to
or in place of subentries), and whatever might be wrong or less
than useful about an index.
Reviewers of indexes need to think of things they (or someone
else) might want to look up in the book, then see if they can
find it in the index. Maybe some synonyms are needed -- maybe
what you would look for is not the same word that OOo uses. The
index should have words that users look up, in addition to words
that OOo actually uses.
It's true that the person doing the indexing (me) then has to
make the changes in the chapter files and regenerate the index,
using the reviewed index as a guide.
