No, these are not replacing the mailing lists. They will replace the 
SourceForge provided forums, and hopefully to some extent reduce the 
number of support emails we get on the fire-core list.

To clarify what the various mediums are for:

Trackers - These are the definitive source about bugs and feature 
requests, as well as patches and localization submissions.

Mailing lists - discussions about localization, development, or general 
Fire issues.

Forums - support questions as well as other types of discussions can go 
here.

There is some overlap between forums and mailing lists, but I'm 
envisioning any type of support and poll questions would primarily use 
the forums while user interface and development discussions would more 
likely use the mailing lists.
