Common directory names of large projects and their meanings

I am sure when a person, especially a novice programmer, downloads a open source software package and decompresses it, he will get shocked by the many and complex directories and files of different kinds, and he won't know where to start reading and analyzing that project. Actually, large projects usually organize those directories and files in a structured way. It is called a souce code tree, which is a hierarchical directory structure. Those directories are named in a typical way in most cases. Here lists some common subdirectory names and their meanings.
