Tradeskill links coming in Wrath
Another fun little addition for tradeskills and crafters straight from the Beta realms is the ability to peruse the recipes that someone else knows. It works very simply, too. The crafter links his tradeskill like it were an item. You click on that link and a regular tradeskill window pops open, minus the option to craft, create or enchant what you're looking at. You can see all of their recipes and the materials required for them.This seems like it's going to be especially useful for the tradeskills that have a large variety of things that people need. Jewelcrafting, Enchanting, et cetera. It would be much easier to link a guildmate the list of what I can do rather than look up everything they need myself. "Can you do Savagery? Vitality? Spell damage to bracers? MP5 to chest? Strength to gloves?" Maybe! Here, check and see!
Linking your recipe book over the Trade channel should help sell enchants and inscriptions as well, hopefully replacing the endless spam of three paragraph advertisement macros. Okay, so maybe those macros will never go away, but we can hope can't we? By the way, you can click on the image to the right to make it bigger, in case you can't see it very well as it is.

I think you took me a little too seriously when I said they were stealing my ideas.

You could repurpose your addon to list prices for things in your spellbook like someone else said Blizzard needed to add. You could also find some other nifty things to integrate it with the guild system, say if someone wants to know what gems someone can cut but if that person is online, there it is in some Group Calendar-like addon so they can check.
Your addon doesn't have to be completely useless, get creative!

This is relevant to my interests!
People on my server don't get the concept of craftList. -_-
I say "350 MP alchemist looking for work! Use !craftList to see what I can make!"...they say "!craftList" and wonder why it doesn't work. Then there are the ones who say "!craftList boots"....yeah cuz alchemists can make BOOTS. This isn't DOMO.
/facepalm

Nice! No more having to list, or asking to list available items.

I for one welcome this.
someone was asking for a 375 tailor so I said I am a 375. (I am)
the person started asking if I can make etc. I said no. Then there answer was your not lvl 375!
