Jaap,
Ah. The CMS we use has a facility called fatcat. One of it's functions
is to generate the what's related links from defined categories. These
change depending on the branch site you use and the page viewed.

Examples:
http://leaf-project.org/devel/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=51
http://leaf-project.org/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=4

Many of the related announcements, links, and web pages in our hub were
tagged with "network appliance" category. Our home page was given that
category also, so the result is what you see.

Does that help?
