I had a website using Thesis as theme. When BuddyPress was released, I wanted to have a matching Theme that would inherit all the functionality I already had.

That’s what this theme does.

The widgetized home page is a page template. You need to create a page, select the template in that page, and then configure your WP installation to show that page as a “static front page”.
