Most of the code goes under lib/, that's correct. The -my_namespace.rb 
isn't anything special, my_namespace.rb is a regular Ruby file. I just 
used a - sign to distinguish a file from a directory, i.e. if I write

dir/
  - file1.rb
  - file2.rb
  subdir/
    - file3.rb

then those ending with / are directories and those beginning with - are 
files. Regarding your other question I just repost my example with more 
comments:

/
  bin/  #Put your executables here
  data/ #Everything else needed for the project, e.g. graphics
  doc/  #RDoc for the lib/ directory, auto-generated by running the rdoc 
command
  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 MyNamespace::MyClass
      my_inner_namespace/ #Directry for classes in 
MyNamespace::MyInnerNamespace
         - my_2nd_class.rb #Contains 
MyNamespace::MyInnerNamespace::My2ndClass
