dates in the group listing - why so old?
I went to
https://community.intersystems.com/find/group
I noticed there were some very old dates listed.
What are these dates? Is it the date of the latest post? the date the group was created(not useful)?
Why is the community manager (with out a pic) listed above each of the groups (creator of the group )?
Listing the creator of the group and how longago it was created is not useful information. More useful info is the date of the last post.

My guess is that the system is set up so "groups" can be created dynamically in the same way posts are. This likely answers all your questions. It's the date the group was created and the group was created by the system user "Community Manager". This also explains why the index loads dynamically instead of assuming a finite number of groups.
I completely agree though, this is not useful information.
Update: You might also notice that this groups index you linked shouldn't technically be accessible. The preferred view, as navigable from the menu, is the "community" view:
I agree with your guess about the information.
Since no one but the admin can create a group, the info listed is usless.
However the link to the page is via the main navigation - Find-> Groups
You can also get there via a couple clicks in the breadcrumbs at the top
I hadn't seen Groups under find. Good catch. We definitely need some reconcilliation between groups and communities.
