Maybe its just my personal opinion but I don't see how having theme compatibility with most WP themes is a bad strategy. There was maybe 20 themes at best that was BP specific. Now folks have access to thousands of themes on the WP repo. Theme compatibility is great and brought in a lot of WP users that wouldn't have normally tried out BuddyPress because they didn't want to get locked into the handfull of themes that was BP specific. As far as the codex goes anyone can contribute. It has gotten a lot better over the years and I encourage anyone that has knowledge about something that is not covered to contribute. I really feel like the codex has made huge strides in just this past year. There is no way the codex will cover every individuals needs though and that is where the forums comes in handy.
