Although I would probably not pay money for either.
Are you trying to find people who are learning to code, or recruit experienced developers? Falling into the latter group, I don't see any reason to pay $30/mo for an online community which already takes my time.
I will be producing screencasts, articles and supporting ppl in the club. I think there's a value to this. Teaching other developers online is what I do for a living.

It's for experienced developers who want to code on cool projects on the side. I will be producing screencasts, articles and supporting ppl in the club. I think there's a value to this. Teaching other developers online is what I do for a living.
I'm the creator of the club. Happy to answer any questions about this. I'm just getting started with this so feedback is very much appreciated :)
Will the club be focused on web development? You're saying that the presentations will be in JavaScript but that the projects can be done in any language. Since some kinds of projects cannot be done in JS and some can only be done in JS, this seems to be somewhat restrictive. Maybe you can give us some examples.
This is not 100% decided atm, but the first project will probably be to implement a HTML5 Canvas game. I'll show how to implement a game loop in JS, but also in other languages. Then, drawing on an HTML canvas or something else is very much alike.
Another project I have in mind is to implement a small compiler/transpiler. Re-implement some UNIX utilities. Perhaps a web framework too...
But I want this to be guided by the community. I'm thinking of having a voting system to let members decided what will be the next project.
Hope this answers your question.
Neat, but I would prefer something similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. A self-support group for people who already have personal projects, want to work on them, but are either lazy or procrastinating or paralyzed by analysis. Although I would probably not pay money for either.

I'm not sure I'm getting it... you want people to pay to work on cool projects? like the ticket to a cool bar or something like that?
Everyone will be working the same project, for eg. a game. I will present the basics of creating a game, give code to get started, etc.
Think of it as a RailsCast/PeepCode but centered around a community.
