Preface

The Whole Earth Telescope is nothing without its people.And what a crew we have!Of course, there are the co-Directors, and the Council of the Wise, and the King Cow, and the Wise Guys, but the WET runs because of the devotion and dedication shown by all of its members.In keeping with the vision of the founders of the WET, the astounding scientific yield that comes from globally coordinated photometry of variable stars makes being part of WET so much fun.The papers presented here represent this science, as presented at the Fifth WET Workshop, held at Chateau de Bonas.These proceedings will, we hope, be a resource for stellar astronomers throughout the world, and provide a snapshot of the scientific inquiries currently underway using the WET.For those in attendance at the workshop, these Proceedings will also provide a perpetual reminder of the presentations and, more importantly, the discussions that followed and the fellowship that followed the discussions.This workshop went so smoothly because of the extensive efforts of Dr. Gerard Vauclair and his colleagues in Toulouse.Our thanks go to them and to Dr. Edmundas Meistas for his usual excellence in editing these proceedings.
