Being a mac user my $HOME is /Users/$user. So I have ~/Development/svn_root - my working copy of the svn repo my group uses for all code related to project work. ~/Documents/$Company_Name/Projects/YYYY - All non-code related project documents are artifacts are stored there. ~/Documents/Reference - All documentation for everything since it spans time frames and projects Everthing is backed up to an external drive via Time Machine as well as synced somewhere external.
