The original purpose of SchoolBell was to fill the then-empty
web-based calendaring app niche and attract volunteer developers.

Since the last release, SchoolTool underwent some internal code rewrites
that left SchoolBell broken.  More immediate priorities require
contracted developers to continue work on SchoolTool, and the expected
volunteers never materialized, so there's no one who can work on fixing
SchoolBell right now.

That's was the idea, more or less, but someone has to step up and
actualy do the commenting out.
