You can create your own prototypes in 'sandbox' if you are working on something for DSpace and it needs a home (it's a place to play around, so feel free to commit whatever you need to there). You can also create you own DSpace Maven modules in 'modules'. Generally though, most of the "official" work goes on under 'dspace' (with the exception of a few 'modules' which are actually distributed out-of-the-box).

Also, 'dspace/branches' are generally used for bug fix releases (e.g. 1.6.1, 1.6.2, etc.). The 'dspace/trunk' is generally used for the next major release (e.g. 1.7, 1.8, etc.). Obviously, if something is a 1.6.0 bug fix, it should be committed both to 'branches/dspace-1_6_x/' and to 'trunk' so that the bug is fixed for both 1.6.1 and 1.7.
