[SeasonOfDocs] Geonetwork meeting notes

[Cameron Shorter]

Jo, others,

If the improvements to the GeoNetwork Quickstart are better than what we 
currently have (which I suspect is the case), then I'd say we should 
include what we have in the upcoming OSGeoLive release.

We can provide an improved version in the next release.
