Hopefully this will change at some point.

I admit it is sometimes a bit blurry but our position was to only document on our website things that were specific to Tails (see the Pidgin and OTR documentation for example). So writing a tutorial on using monkeysign is out of scope. I admin that some pieces of software are documented beyond this requirement already (for example KeepassX) but it is also much more advertised and a key feature than monkeysign ever will be. I tried to improve a bit on this by improving the visibility of the list of included software from the documentation index. That's commit e8a33f6 in master.
