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 :)
Buyer beware
Any idea when it will be launching and do you have plans to limit the size of the community?
Yes, I will limit the size of the community. The goal is to get a core group of very passionate people first.

C/C++ won't be going anywhere for a long, long time. Don't worry. 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.
It's not that I'm attached to C and C++. It's that I think the Web as a development platform is kind of a Rube Goldberg machine, and I think we as a community of programmers could probably do a whole lot better.
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.
We havent started development on my main project at work and I am itching to use my new skills. Recently I have been looking for something to collaborate on with more experienced devs but havent found an outlet. This looks like something I was looking for.
This seems cool, as far as I can tell it's more for one's personal education, rather than producing something for others to use? So I'm curious... is there any kind of "open-source incubator" out there? Like, a site with 500 developers signed up, they all vote on new project ideas, start a new project each month, kind of like a great big collaborative hackathon, in order to put out some really impressive piece of sof…
There was something posted on here a while back called AssemblyMade. They basically do crowd-sourced development. To my knowledge, ideas are voted on, and then people essentially work in a democratic environment iterating on the development. In the end, the idea is that any profits made from the project will be split.

What do we get for $30?
Mostly what the site says: http://www.greatcodeclub.com/#content - 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.
