Common folder between two users (same machine)

There are many ideas here already.  I like the idea of a "/public" directory
or "/common".  Maybe /usr/local/share/public, especially if /usr/local is a
separate partition.   Maybe I'm missing something, though.

I have gotten used to using nautilus, and even starting to like it.  Even
though I'm still depressed about lack of facility in comparison with using
the command line shell, I am able to access a reasonable number of
subdirectories through the Bookmarks on the sidebar.  So, given that I can
assign a bookmark to /public or /usr/local/common, or whatever, can I mount
the directory to both user's ~/ (home) directory?

I think my head is stuck back in a byegone age.  My students tell me that.
