2.2 Buy A Feature

There's a lot we want to accomplish for CanJS 2.2 ... too much! We want to build what's most important to you, our community. So on Sept 9th, we are going to sell the following list of 2.2 features. Each feature is has a price. Everyone attending the sale will get $5 plus their Bithub points to be used to purchase features. Not everything can be bought so you will have to pool your money to get what they want.
