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.
But you swerve into this sort-of class format so we can "build our resumes" to be like Twitter employees, and you're looking for $30/mo for it? This seems like less collaborative community, and more a carefully branded training course from http://classes.codedinc.com/.
But to get there we have to start somewhere. And I know people can bond and form a community better if they work on similar problems, thus the projects.
In any case, I've jot it down on my "follow up" list for when I have some more free time. Good luck!
