Scientific paper

The Whole Earth Telescope is an extremely powerful scientific tool. It involves a large group of people and telescopes comprising a significant fraction of the total astronomical resources of our planet. It must therefore be used sparingly and wisely. Our best guide to the use of the WET comes from a critical examination of the results of our first decade: we must consider what worked, what did not, and why. Building on Nather's assessments in the last workshop, we can derive some general principles for selection of WET targets and operation. Armed with this knowledge we can proceed confidently into the next decade of WET science.
