I agree to the people here already sharing their ways to access documentation. If you are starter, you should better spend time to search for documentation (like using google) or hours to read. Then start ask specific question. Coming here kpkb about poor quality of documentation just does not cut it.
If you find documentation is outdated, you can email to the people in charge and tell them what is wrong and what you think will improve. There are some documentation which is left there so that we can read and understand history where it came from and some may still use old version of cassandra.
