Agreed, it seems pretty unhelpful to start this kind of project without consulting the founders and administrators of LessWrong because of:
risk of desensitizing people to announcements about the LW community
risk of further splintering the LW community
missing out on good ideas from LW’s founders and administrators
maintaining a good working relationship with LW administrators
getting consent to use the LW brand at all
etc etc etc
