i disagree, i think the default page should show the thing that the page is mostly visited for.
If the site is mainly visited by developers, this should be development type stuff, like changelogs etc. If the site is mainly visited by people who have visited before, and want to know if there's anything new, this should be news. If the site is mainly visited by people trying to figure out what it's about, then you should open up with an about page.
Of course, the About page should be very reachable within one click on a very visible en clear link.

Nonsense. That's what bookmarks are for. It's okay to have a few lines of "what's new" or headlines on the main page (that helps let the newcomer know whether the site is active or comatose), but the default page shouldn't presume anything about the visitor.
