Comment (by SirLouen):

 Update:

 I've been researching for the documentation part, (aka
 developer.b*press.org)

 Considering that the BuddyPress team has already started moving into
 GitHub/MD files, I think this can be seriously advantageous.

 Talking with Javier Casares from the WordPress Administration/Hosting Team
 (who is also in charge of the Advanced Administration Handbook docs team),
 he showed me a tool that I have adapted a little bit to run over Docker
 locally for testing purposes:

 https://github.com/SirLouen/wphandbook

 I have put in the README all the installation instructions, pretty
 straightforward.

 Basically, with this tool, it's as easy as:

 1. Create a specific CPT for docs (say `codex`)
 2. Create the template file within the theme planned to be built here for
 such CPT (say `codex.php`)
 3. Say that the index for the CPT is `buddypress.org/codex/`,
 `dev.buddypress.org` can be redirected to that page
 4. Then we set up the tool to run towards an exclusive Documentation
 repository, say `https://github.com/b*press/Codex`
 5. And set a cronjob to run nightly updates with this tool over the
 repository (we might need to speak with the systems people @ WP to see how
 this can be executed, or we will need to set it up as a plugin with some
 sort of `wp-cron` procedure, otherwise).

 The codex.php template could look something like this:

 https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/
 Very clean and simple template: Menu in the left, in the right the TOC (we
 can use `wp.org-table-of-contents` plugin is the one being used there),
 and the content which is being loaded with this tool.

 And we will have sorted the Docs/Codex part, and will be WAY simpler for
 the Docs team in both BuddyPress and bbPress to work from now on (+
 BuddyPress team can remove the docs' folder within the project). I find it
 a simple and neat solution.

 I will be tomorrow 13th Nov @ 18H CET in the #buddypress channel for the
 Docs in case there are any comments regarding this specific part.
