Amir,
It is actually quite easy to access the page's meta data. The Content
class has a method called 'getMetaData()' to retrieve the Meta Data
of a page. The result of the method is a MetaData object, offering
you a lot of methods to directly read meta data of a content page.
Here is a simple sample:
<%
HierarchyManager hm = MgnlContext.getHierarchyManager("website");
Content myPage = hm.getContent("/en/about-magnolia");
MetaData md = myPage.getMetaData();
out.write(md.getModificationDate());
%>
Check the Magnolia API to see what methods are available in the
MetaData object.

Ok
I just looked up user list archive for a proper way to get lets say
last
modified date of a page...
I found several solutions ranging from snippets, cmsu:date tag and
cms:out
tag....
What is the "proper" way to obtain these items?
Is it via JCR query?
If so can someone tell me which subnode in MetaData should be used?
Looking at the metadata for "en" page there are 2 subnodes for
creation and
modification dates...
What is the difference and which one should be used
(mgnl:creationdate or
jcr:created)?
