-class Board(object):
-    """
-    A board runs jobs.  A board can be in four main states:
-
-     * stopped (S)
-       * the board is not looking for or processing jobs
-     * checking (C)
-       * a call to check for a new job is in progress
-     * waiting (W)
-       * no job was found by the last call to getJobForBoard and so the board
-         is waiting for a while before calling again.
-     * running (R)
-       * a job is running (or a job has completed but the call to jobCompleted
-         on the job source has not)
-
-    In addition, because we can't stop a job instantly nor abort a check for a
-    new job safely (because a if getJobForBoard returns a job, it has already
-    been marked as started), there are variations on the 'checking' and
-    'running' states -- 'checking with stop requested' (C+S) and 'running with
-    stop requested' (R+S).  Even this is a little simplistic as there is the
-    possibility of .start() being called before the process of stopping
-    completes, but we deal with this by deferring any actions taken by
-    .start() until the board is really stopped.
-
-    Events that cause state transitions are:
-
-     * start() is called.  We cheat and pretend that this can only happen in
-       the stopped state by stopping first, and then move into the C state.
-
-     * stop() is called.  If we in the C or R state we move to C+S or R+S
-       resepectively.  If we are in S, C+S or R+S, we stay there.  If we are
-       in W, we just move straight to S.
-
-     * getJobForBoard() returns a job.  We can only be in C or C+S here, and
-       move into R or R+S respectively.
-
-     * getJobForBoard() indicates that there is no job to perform.  Again we
-       can only be in C or C+S and move into W or S respectively.
-
-     * a job completes (i.e. the call to jobCompleted() on the source
-       returns).  We can only be in R or R+S and move to C or S respectively.
-
-     * the timer that being in state W implies expires.  We move into C.
-
-    The cheating around start means that interleaving start and stop calls may
-    not always do what you expect.  So don't mess around in that way please.
