Who should use this plugin?

People who want to list 'related posts' in their blog posts or pages, and want to choose the related posts themselves, instead of having a list generated automatically like other plugins do, using weird algorithms that often create comical results.

Where does the plugin store its data?

Data is stored in the existing postmeta table in the WordPress database. No additional tables are created.

How many related posts can I add?

As many as you like, there's no limit.

WordPress version 2.9 is listed as minimum required version. Any chance it will work with earlier versions?

There's a chance it will work with earlier versions, but I haven't tested it.

I have 500+ posts on my blog and selecting the posts with the one select box isn't very comfortable, lots of scrolling.

That's true, it isn't ideal for large blogs. This might get improved in future releases, feel free to submit ideas.

In WordPress 2.9, a strange error appears when I try to delete the plugin.

Yes, I don't know what the problem is. It's only in WordPress 2.9. Just delete the plugin directory manually from wp-content/plugins.

When I delete the plugin, will it delete the related posts data?

With version 1.1, all data remains in the database when the plugin files are deleted through the plugins page in WordPress. So if you accidentally delete the plugin, or if you decide to install it again later, your data should still be there.

Is this plugin actively maintained?

Not very actively, mostly because my focus is on Ruby development, so my interest in WordPress/PHP is limited. However I get quite a few emails from people who enjoy using the plugin, so if there are any major issues I will look into it.

If you're a developer you are encouraged to submit improvements. Just fork it on GitHub and submit changes. Every now and then I might find time to incorporate improvements and push out a new release.
