[one-dev] Proposal for metadata-addon

[Javier Fontan]

Great. This is the information I need to create it:

* Github user
* Name of the repository (addon-something). In your case can be
addon-metadata, for example
* Short description for the repository. It can be changed later

The requirements for an addon are as follows [1]:

* A codebase tested in the OpenNebula version you claim to support
* Documentation to install and use the add-on with OpenNebula
* An active development and support
* A potential user community
* Apache v2.0 license

It will also need a README file that is similar to the rest of the
addons [2]. If the documentation is too long to fit the readme file it
can be added in a subdirectory and link it from the readme.

If you need any help or have doubts just tell me.

Cheers
