Title:
  Usability: Differences in Amount, Order, and Spelling of Quota
  Parameters

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If you are logged in to the Dashboard as admin, the "System Info"
  category on the "Admin" tab shows the global "Default Quotas" (hard-
  coded in OpenStack Nova). It shows 15 parameters.

  However, if you want to *set* quota values for a project ("Admin" tab
  > "Project" category > More > Modify Quota), the window basically
  shows the same parameters like the "System Info" category on the
  "Admin" tab, but the parameters are partially named differently and
  they differ in number (12).

  The differences in detail:

  Default Quotas vs. Setting Quota 
  -Key Pairs
  -Injected File Path Bytes
  -Snapshots

  
  The following parameters are the same, but named differently:
  -Cores
  +VCPUs

  This divergence in name and number is confusing for users.

  For some parameters, the spelling also slightly differs (Floating Ips
  vs. Floating IPs, Ram vs. RAM (MB), etc.). In general, the spelling
  used in the window where to set the quotas looks better to me
  (acronyms are spelled correctly).

  If there is no reason for hiding several quota parameters when editing
  a project, I would propose the following changes:

  1) show the same number of parameters in "Default Quotas" like on the
  "Quota" tab in the "Edit Project" dialog

  2) consolidate 
    * order 
    * naming
    * spelling
  of the quota parameters in the "Default Quotas" view and on the "Quota" tab in the "Edit Project" dialog. For spelling, I would propose to use the spelling from the "Edit Project" dialog (and to rename "Key Pairs" to "Keypairs" like in the rest of the Dashboard UI).
