Does that mean their Write for DOnations program is canned?

If this is true then I really am screwed. I have an article due for publication under that program, it had already passed the tech test, just a review of the actual text was needed. Angry because my article was with them for over 60 days tch.

I sent them emails asking for updates 4days ago and yesterday, no response.

I've mostly given up now, but I still kind of hold out hope, that $300 payout would've changed this Nigerian's life...even if only for just a while

A couple of places you can get paid for FOSS tech documentation work btw:

https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/ https://lwn.net/op/AuthorGuide.lwn

The FOSSjobs site has a category for editors/writers too, not all of them seem to be related to the category though.

https://www.fossjobs.net/jobs/editors/

Thank you, I will check them out.

Also the FOSSjobs resources page might have links to FOSS employers that have documentation jobs.
