Open Stack

I just ran through an install last week and found 3 issues. One was a bad
link which I put a patch up for, the other there was a Horizon bug for, and
the last was Placement and I've reached out in #openstack-placement but
need to follow up I'm willing to patch the docs but not sure where as
there's 2 options. I only did Keystone, Nova, Glance, Neutron, Placement,
and Cinder so not sure the state of any others

Thanks,

Amy (spotz)
