There were several discussion and we tried to satisfy a claims.
We added the ability of creation of FTS with one command
(just create GIN index on text attribute), which many
people like a lot, we changed SQL syntax to be more SQL-ish and we like it.
We discussed the new FTS on two conferences in Moscow and got positive
opinions. Also, we wrote FTSBOOK
( http://mira.sai.msu.su/~megera/pgsql/ftsdoc/ )
in english and FTS introduction in russian
( http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/talks/fts_pgsql_intro.html ).

For the period from the patch was announced there were > 3100 unique IP, which
downloaded FTSBOOK.
