Thanks for submitting this PR @evilaliv3! +1.

I'd suggest a few changes below to the copy to fix some typos and reflect a more detailed definition of digital public goods. I also added an additional alias which is popularly used too (I'm guessing that field can take more than one). Would you be open to updating your PR? Thank you!

This curated list can also be very complementary to the existing GitHub effort on For Good First Issue which also promotes recognized digital public goods.

It looks like digital-public-goods was imported successfully. We're working through an error in the import of collections, however.

Oh! Is there a ticket for reference?

Maybe we could try to implement a test to verify the publish count met the directories count?
