Goollery http://www.goollery.org is an online gallery dedicated to collect, archive and showcase the most creative, fun and innovative Google-related projects from around the world.

It's an unofficial project led by Googlers Ji Lee and Andrew Bonventre, but also Jeanelle Mak, Francisco Hui and Karishma Sheth.

Side note: There was another Goollery project in Blogoscoped archive, http://www.wirzm.ch/goollery from 2004, a Gmail-based photo gallery written in PHP http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2004_10_08_index.html#10972535666817
