This kind of document really interests me. My project is called Linux on the Web, and has been under fairly active development for the past decade. I am trying to innovate on both operating system theory as well as application development best practices, all at the same time.
The current top level directories in LOTW are: bin, etc, home, mnt, tmp, usr, var and www. There used to be a dev directory (and others) that really just added to the complexity of the codebase more than anything else. LOTW development is a constant balance between the age old "complexity vs functionality duality" in systems design theory.
