[petsc-dev] Known outdated sections of the User's Manual?

[Patrick Sanan]

I'm working on some groundwork to improve the PETSc documentation, and
the next thing I'd like to look at is the User's Manual, adding
slightly-prettier code listings (as in the update to the dev manual).

Before doing that, however,  it would be very helpful to know if there
are any sections of the manual which are known, by the relevant
experts here, to require deletion or heavy rewrites; it would of
course be a waste of time to format these.

Specifically, I'm wondering about the following sections, which have
in common that they are things concerned with friendly external tools.
I've seen new users get very frustrated when they expect these sorts
of things to "just work," so it's probably constructive to remove any
outdated information here:

- Chapter 11: Using MATLAB with PETSc . The support here has changed
quite a lot, so I'm not sure what currently works. Is the MATLAB
Compute Engine still supported?

- Sections 15.10-15.14: Eclipse/Qt Creator/Developers Studio/XCode
users. This is likely not all current. Is this information helpful
here?

- Section 15.15 : Graphics. I saw that there were some updates to the
drawing tools recently by Lisandro, so if any of this material is
known to be out of date, that would be helpful to know.
