ECOUTER

These scripts are for use during an ECOUTER and include:

• reshaping the .m42 file (JSON) and flattening it to extract a table of mindmap metadata
• generalised back up script utilising the Mind42 API.

Things to fix in the reshape script

• generalise the script - currently it requires hard coding file path and the file you want to flatten
• html links are in a dictionary, need to reshape as a string
• extract some summary stats including no of unique contributors, top five branches that have the most children.
