Hi

I run a site with several MediaWiki installations all running on PostgreSQL
8.2.5 utilizing TSearch2. Is there something like a Migration Guide from 8.2to
8.3 for tsearch2 users?

Hmm - there was a blog posting recently that linked to a load of
migration stuff...

Here - this links to a short tsearch2 piece as well as a lot of other
material

There's always RTFM:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/textsearch-migration.html

(Note that the blog you linked to is a bit out of date, as it
predates the creation of the tsearch2 compatibility module.)

Note another possible solution for mediawiki users is to do a fresh install
using latest svn, which has native 8.3 fts support for postgres, and then do
an xml dump/import of the wiki contents.
