Change Details

I thought I had seen some discussion of this, but searching doesn't seem to turn it up. Is there some way to set up the default view presented to anonymous (non logged-in) users? Currently the default view goes to /login/, which I don't think suits our purposes. We are going to be hosting documentation and docs for dozens of open-source projects, and asking the user to login before they can browse them doesn't seem very welcoming. It would seem to me to be better to present a limited dashboard with a welcome message, list of interesting/important projects, and just a link to register/login, etc. Can this be done in a reasonable manner, and if so, how? What is the idea behind defaulting to the login page, btw? I note that it is possible to bypass it anyway as an anonymous user, if one knows which URIs to use, so it doesn't seem to be due to security/privacy concerns. Thanks.
