You asked for it :)

Follow instructions on

http://www.schooltool.org/documentation/setting-up-a-development-server/your-development-environment/

but instead of http://source.schooltool.org/svn/trunk/schooltool use
http://source.schooltool.org/svn/branches/schoolbell2006

and voila - you will get your own schoolbell. This is not a release,
it's not stable, i am doing this to prove that it's possible and
because i am in a good mood so use with extreme caution :)

Happy holidays!
