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get very frustrated when they expect these sorts of things to "just work," so it's probably constructive to remove any outdated information here: - Chapter 11: Using MATLAB with PETSc .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I saw that there were some updates to the drawing tools recently by Lisandro, so if any of this material is known to be out of date, that would be helpful to know.
