list of funding options collected over the years

This is initially copied over from the website: https://github.com/solid/solidproject.org/blob/8a7342e449c236a91114d5d41acfbd6ebf38f443/pages/funding.md?plain=1#L3
I believe this page will not exist with the new content changes.

I could make some additions to this list, once it is merged. What are the contributors' guidelines? (to get this PR integrated and for new ones, to make them?)

That's great! Can you give me a bit of time to get things set up? My intention is to have separate repos for resourcesWanted and resourcesOffered, to put this funders list in resourcesOffered, and to format it using RDF so that rather than simply adding text, you can add structured data. Should have something for you to add to soon.

What are the contributors' guidelines?

For the moment anyone may submit and I will merge. Once we get going, we can open that up and perhaps have a more formal review process.

I have copied this list into preliminary RDF format and posted it to the repo here : https://github.com/solid-contrib/practitioners/blob/main/resourcesAvailable/FundingProgram.ttl

I find the initial list [in markdown] much more human friendly (easier to read and modify) then the new one [in rdf] and I personally don't see enough value in structuring it beyond that / optimising for automatic processing over human-friendliness, but it's interesting to do some experimentation. It may be that I don't have enough understanding of the potential of semantic web.

@mariha - I'll post shortly an explanation of why I think it's important to have this and other lists we create in RDF.
