Let's make a wikipedia knowledgebase.

Wikipedia already has an article on World of Goo, but it's pretty small.  I was thinking that we could team up and expand it, to include information on things like the highest number of goo balls achieved on each level, and lots of other random info, which could be one one-stop-shop for any info you need.

Awesome idea, but maybe without the solutions. Only tell people the most they can get on a level, then let them puzzle over how to do it. ;)

I also propose the creation of a scientific goo specification system. Not the full classification of course, but Viscosia Simplificus is clearly black goo. Viscosia Braceccia is green (maybe) and Viscosia Elevatus Elevatus is the balloon (the second elevatus is because there might be more kinds of balloon goo..)

...

I must give this more thought...

Haha, love it! Maybe the corrupt WOGC goos are the mysterious Viscosia Industrialus, and white goos - Viscosia Albinus?

Maybe instead of Wikipedia we could just make a Wikia, makes things more customizeable

P'raps in addition to, but definitely not instead of. Too many people live(and die?) by the Wiki to let ourselves look bad there.
