I think the RubyGems guidelines describe how a ruby project is typically 
structured. Additionally, I tend to create a directory for each module 
and a file for each class:

/
  bin/  #Put your executables here
  data/ #Everything else needed for the project
  doc/  #RDoc for the lib/ directory
  ext/  #C-Extensions go here
  lib/  #Everything internal is handled here
    - my_namespace.rb #Contains module methods for MyNamespace
    my_namespace/   #Directory for classes in MyNamespace
      - my_class.rb  #Contains MyClass
      my_inner_namespace/
         - my_2nd_class.rb
