Why does the help of Gnome 2.18 is about 2.14???

Desktop User Guide

          The GNOME User Guide is a collection of documentation which details general use of the
          GNOME Desktop environment.  Topics covered include sessions, panels, menus, file management,
          and preferences.
       
GNOME 2.14 Desktop Accessibility Guide

        The GNOME Accessibility Guide is for users, system administrators, and anyone who is interested
        in how the GNOME Desktop supports people with disabilities and addresses the requirements
        of Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act.
       
GNOME 2.14 Desktop System Administration Guide

        The GNOME System Administration Guide provides information to administrators
        on how to configure and manage different aspects of the desktop environment for users.

It is from the System -> Help menu

The desktop and system administrator guides haven't been touched after 2.14, so these still contain the versions from when they were made. Sure, it's like shipping windows XP documentation with Windows Vista, but it's better than no docs at all. There simply isn't any updated documentation for these, while 90% of the old docs still cover the current gnome release (I guess orca hasn't been covered in the accessibility guide).
