Hmmm, on BSD anyway, the sticky bit on directories causes them to be 
append only, restricting the deletion of files by anyone but their 
owners (and the owner of the directory).

What I don't know how to do is just the opposite: some way to create a 
directory that would cause all files added to it, by any user, to 
automatically be group-writeable. (That is, not relying on the user to 
chmod 775 the files they add.)
