Research direction

Read issue #305 for the list of parameters used across models, then inspect the existing plugin model documentation to find where model conventions are described. Move or incorporate the parameter list into those docs so plugin authors can consult the standard nomenclature; done when the documentation includes the list and makes the naming convention clear.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Documentation SasModels Infrastructure

When reviewing new models a frequent request is to rename the parameters to follow the standard nomenclature.

#305 gives a list of all parameters in all models. By moving this list to the docs, plugin authors may be more likely to follow the existing conventions for their models.
