access_control_models.png about devguide

@jkickens I'm noticing a lot of issues getting created for image upload purposes. The downside of this is that everyone watching the project gets a notification when it's created & closed.

If the goal is to link to the image in the wiki/guide, it's possible to include the images in bulk, in the repository structure, and then get their raw image url.

Is that the intended purpose of current issue creation? If so, happy to help out, if needed.

Yes, that is the intention. If you could tell me a better way, I'm happy to redo the images.

The link above is the preferred way of getting static image URL:
https://help.github.com/articles/adding-images-to-wikis

Step-by-step example using this image, and the ./03-Build/images folder you created:
Include the images in your local repository structure

cd <DevGuide_repo_location>
mv <image_location>/access_control_models.png ./03-Build/images/
git add .

Push them to github

git commit -am 'Add access_control_models.png'
git push origin master

Visit the file's location in your browser (by browsing through the repo's page, or directly):

firefox https://github.com/OWASP/DevGuide/blob/master/03-Build/images/access_control_models.png
# not actually created, will 404
click on raw

alternatively:
change the "blob" in the url to "raw", and Bob's your uncle:

firefox https://github.com/OWASP/DevGuide/raw/master/03-Build/images/access_control_models.png

Once the files are on github, any raw file can be referenced with the general URL structure:

https://github.com/OWASP/DevGuide/raw/master/<path_to_file>

Hope that helps,
