This application was orginally designed by Brendan Hart and distributed on Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/hartbren/faf_clans_webapp Application supposed to fulfill goals of Quest for Webcoders that was organized by Ze_PilOt (main developer of FAF): http://www.faforever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2881 Brendan Hart disappeared without single word in October 2013. We decided to finish application. Dragonfire finished the application 2014 and integrate it with Ze_PilOt.
