Ummm <sheepishly>, I'm not sure that the portlet_related thingy in the left column was always there. I may have introduced it in recovering from my adventure discovering what the delete button means on the portal properties page For the record, I accidentally deleted the left-slots object entirely. And for some reason I couldn't perform an undo, so I re-created a new left-slots and pasted into it the _standard_ things from typical plone installs. So it may be that original config did not have a "related" panel. If so, that was probably by design (josh? greg?) So.., we might want to keep an eye on the contents of the related panel to see: 1) if it is basically useful or not 2) if it contains things we would rather not have there Docs say: The related portlet shows a list of items that are related to the item you're currently viewing, as determined by the keywords on that item. If a related item is a link to another Web site, then it'll show up in a separate list of external resources. Even if you have this item in the list of portlets, it won't display unless there are some related items I haven't looked at it carefully, yet, but keyword matches does seem to trigger a related panel only for events. And the related events, at first glance, always look like past events. MyOp: It seems not very useful to show old events (in this way). Maybe just because event writers haven't been consistent about checking-off the keywords, and so the content is somewhat _random_. ==> Q: Should portlet_related be removed until/unless it's content can be better defined and controlled (eg by policy)?
