#883 closed enhancement (fixed)
Add link to source code of each model to model documentation

Description
The documentation for each model distributed in sasmodels should have a link to the source code on github, ideally to the revision that ships.
This will make it easier for users to find the source code to base their own models on without having to dig through the distributed packages.

Or provide a "clone existing model" button in the plugin editor window?

Replying to http://trac.sasview.org/ticket/883#comment:1 :
The start of plugin.rst actually says:
The built-in modules are available in the models subdirectory of the sasmodels package. For SasView on Windows, these will be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\SasView\sasmodels- data\models. On Mac OSX, these will be within the application bundle as /Applications/ SasView 4.0.app/Contents/Resources/sasmodels-data/models.

If the docs had an appropriate instruction and/or a pointer, and also a big note in the plugins directory, is it that hard to find the directory where the source code from the download lives? (On my windows, program files(x86)/sasview41/sasmodels-data/models) This works without web access to github and is the correct revision for my download.
OK the user might discover, I think, that they can add or modify models there without using their plugins directory, so we might want to ban that?
