I am reminded of what I will call Jeff's solution, which is to give
everyone points that can be spent on tradeskills and only
tradeskill.  He built community by having a host of tradeskills and
then giving everyone a free skill slot that could only be used on
tradeskills.  There were a few full-time crafters about, but by and
large everyone had one trade skill and between everyone we had them
all, which is great for community building.
