You could give points to encourage a wider variety of cooperative user behaviors.
You could give points to folks who provide structures that others then evolve.
You could give points to recipe-writers each time their recipes are used by
others or adapted by others. Many sports have stats like assists, sacrifices,
and rebounding. Why not do the same in Foldit?
