No they do not. At one point all messages posted on the ubuntu mailing
list (international) used to be added to the forum but I think since the
number of lists increased with the through put and activity it was
decided to separate them.

We have our own sub forum on the ubuntu forums. [1] but this just
re-direction to  [2]

Our sub forums aren't as active as the mailing lists. I assume this is
just a personal preference among the za community. This could be because
people don't really have access to internet other then at work or prefer
the responses/questions directly to their mailbox..  I am not 100% sure
the reasoning I my self prefer forums.

If any one feels that something was worth sharing with the public or
they are willing to write a tutorial from the explanations on theses
lists we have our wiki  [3] or under the tutorials and tips section of
the forums[4] although in the activity it might get lost. So maybe a
suggestion would be to post them to our sub forum and we could always
move them around if need be. :)
