//this will try the ajax call three times in total
//if there is no error, the success callbacks will be fired immediately
//if there is an error after three attempts, the error callback will be called
$.ajax(options).retry({times:3}).then(function(){

Contributing
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using grunt.
Also, please don't edit files in the "dist" subdirectory as they are generated via grunt. You'll find source code in the "src" subdirectory!
