Abstract
We stand on the threshold of a critical expansion of asteroseismology of Sun-like  stars, the study of stellar interiors by observation and analysis of their global acoustic modes of oscillation.
The Sun-like oscillations give a very rich spectrum allowing the internal structure and dynamics to be probed down into the stellar cores to very high precision. Asteroseismic  observations of many stars will allow multiple-point tests of crucial aspects of stellar  evolution and dynamo theory. The aims of the asteroFLAG collaboration are to help the  community to refine existing, and to develop new, methods for analysis of the  asteroseismic data on the Sun-like oscillators.
