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 :)
So.... Your forum is meta.discourse.org with a photoshopped logo and a blur?
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.

sorry for bluntness, haven't had enough coffee or sleep.

So I get to pay you $30/m to work for you on projects and I get to talk to the other developers you have locked up in your forum and to listen to you do a screencast of unverifiable quality. Sounds amazing, sign me up!

It worked a little too well, all of us got new and better jobs, and we're no longer close enough geographically to continue at the same rate as before.
The perils of success!

If you're in the bay area, ping me and I'll invite you out to our SF tribe in the mission.
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…

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.
There's more to goodness than technical aesthetics -- ubiquity is important and arguably harder to achieve.
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?
It will start as a curated program. But my hope is to make it evolve to be both. A place to get knowledge, inspiration and motivation. And then a place to get help and support making your own thing when you're ready.
In any case, I've jot it down on my "follow up" list for when I have some more free time. Good luck!
