Let users view open/closed times for pantries #31

Some sort of search facet or viewer which lets users find pantries open at appropriate times.

I'm exploring http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxScheduler/

hmm, I only took a really quick look through it, but it seems like this is a broad solution for scheduling altogether, vs. a modular approach that we can adopt into an existing system. We also haven't defined a license for pantry pickup yet, but this restricts us (and anybody who builds on top of us) to GPL v2, which might be a little more restrictive than I'd like. Might be useful for ideas, but I'm not sure if this is a good library to include. You've probably been looking at it more closely than I have, though, what do you think @ohnorobo?
