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!

According to the UN Secretary General’s Roadmap for Digital Cooperation, a Digital Public Good (DPG) is an open-source software, open data, open AI systems, or open content collections that adhere to privacy and other applicable laws and best practices, do no harm, and help attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To be classified as a DPG, a digital solution must conform to the nine indicators of the [DPG Standard](https://digitalpublicgoods.net/standard). The Digital Public Goods Alliance maintains a [registry](https://digitalpublicgoods.net/registry) of digital solutions officially vetted and recognized as digital public goods.

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?
