known issues

1. As we are getting some libraries from github if we get some error around github limits we have to run:

   jspm registry config github    //and follow the instructions
   

2. jspm has issues installing sometimes if the command prompt is running under administrator privileges. So make sure that you use a normal cmd, navigate to the project's folder and then run the above commands.
