Hi Tony, we spoke in the #openstack-kolla IRC channel [1], but I
thought I'd reply here for the benefit of anyone reading this.

There's a lot of technical things like information on variables - which is fantastic, but there's no context about them. For example, the architecture page is pretty small, when you get further on in the guide it's difficult to contextually link detail back to the architecture.

As discussed in IRC, we are missing some architecture and from scratch
walkthrough documentation in Kayobe. I've been focusing on the
configuration reference mostly, but I think it is time to move onto
these other areas to help new starters.

I would definitely recommend persevering with the universe from
nothing demo [2], as it offers the quickest way to get a system up and
running that you can poke at. It's also a fairly good example of a
'bare minimum' configuration. Could you share the issues you had with
it? For an even simpler setup, you could try [3], which gets you an
all-in-one control plane/compute host quite quickly. I'd suggest using
the stable/train branch for a more stable environment.

Andreas Jaeger kindly proposed a fix for this. Here's the storyboard
