The Strategic Plan mentions that the maintenance of LessWrong.com is one of the goals that SIAI is pursuing. For example:

Make use of LessWrong.com for collaborative problem-solving (in the manner of the earlier LessWrong.com progress on decision theory)

Does this mean that LessWrong.com is essentially an outreach site for SIAI ?

I disapprove of characterizing actions as being due to single motives or purposes.

The spirit of your question is good; "To what extent is LessWrong.com an outreach site for SIAI?"

Agreed, your phrasing is better.
