campaign starts_at and ends_at should allow setting times

[searls]

Campaign start & end as implemented in #104 are actually tracking times, but for simplicity sake, the web form is only collecting the date. That means if you set 2014-08-03 as the start and 2014-08-05 as the end of a campaign, it will save as midnight eastern time the morning of 8/3 through 11:59pm the night of 8/5.

The most recent campaign wanted to launch at a very specific time of day, so in the future we could either:

• Improve the form to capture both date and time, requiring that we pull in a UI widget library and massage the values it produces with Rails
• Set the dates and then hop into the rails console with heroku run rails c and adjust the time with something like Campaign.find(SOME_ID).update(:starts_at => Campaign.find(SOME_ID).starts_at + 10.hours)

I presume this is going to be a rare request and I recommend you stick to the console / non-UI approach for now

yeah that should be fine for now, let's just make sure the documentation captures how one would do that in case it does come up before we get to actually implementing the UI

Where is the best place to document that?
