dev.java feedback

[Ethan McCue]

Hi all,

I've gone through a chunk of the dev.java site and marked up feedback in
this Figma

https://www.figma.com/file/pTnVYD5WHWxsIDoBDuUaFt/dev.java-feedback

I know it's infinitely easier to be a critic than a creator, but I think
that there are very real structural problems with the site as it exists
right now and I don't yet have a better mechanism to affect change.

The biggest and most pervasive issue is that there does not seem to be a
clearly defined audience.

Tutorials will shift rapidly between being targeted at
* Total beginners
* Beginners to Java who might know another language
* Intermediates looking for reference material
* Experts looking to catch up on new features

and the quality of content suffers massively as a result, ending up not
really being useful for any group.

I am also cc-ing the discuss mailing list since I think this sort of thing
is relevant to the community as a whole.
