The only problem with this method (changing Mediawiki:Mainpage) is once a user logs in they are taken back to the Special:UserLogin page, not the Main Page. Is there anyway to accomplish this and redirect back to the Main Page?
The approach I'd use for this is to write a quickie special page extension which checks to see if the user is logged in, and if so, issues a redirect to the "actual" main page, otherwise, redirects to Special:Userlogin, with a "returnto" value that is the title of this main page.
A more adventurous approach might be to hack Title::newMainPage() to do the check.
