Is it a club or a school?

Not fixed on the price yet. But yes, most probably.
What do we get for $30?
- Screencasts presenting the project, giving the basics and showing solutions.
- Code to get started, full projects and examples.
- A community for help and support.
- I'll also be there supporting and answering questions. I've been teaching other devs online for a few years: http://classes.codedinc.com/
Is this more of a curated program where I am assigned a project to work on and given support towards doing so, or is this a community where people come in with projects and the community works collaboratively towards supporting these projects? Is it a club or a school?

Don't get me wrong, I am all for monetizing, but I greedily want something if I am going to pay for it.

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 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?

My question too. Given that I can get a list of open source projects that I can work on for free with GitHub Explore[1] I am wondering what this provides me that is worth any money, not specifically $30. To take it one step further, why should I pay you for a list of free projects, when I can get paid to work on projects with other sites like Rent A Coder[2]? The list of features implies that I will effectively only…

I don't really get it either. As an experienced developer if I want to work on a cool project I either start my own or I go on github and contribute to something I'm interested in. While the creator claims to be recruiting experienced developer's I don't see why any good developer would pay a monthly fee to work on a side project. This seems like it would attract more amateur or novice programmers who aren't comforta…

Programming languages are a means to an end. Greatness can be achieved in a variety of environments.
It's not because of the language itself. It's because it's implied that the platform my_great_project would be built on is "Chrome, the new C runtime". This is the "platform of the future" and that makes me kinda sad.
However, if it really bugs you that much, why not create a Great C Club? The necessity of a good community web site to power it notwithstanding.
And if you're gonna blur an image, blur the image. :)
