Last I looked, there was no real organization there.  Or, there were at least
two organizations:

  http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost/library-name
  http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/libs/library-name

which is unsustainable, and

  http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/library-name/boost/
  http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/library-name/libs/

The planned/proposed organization is roughly like the latter.  If you want to
look at the organization in detail, see https://github.com/boost-lib/boost
