The link to the project mind map doesn’t work
It is possible that @Rick_Davidson’s mind has now surpassed the storage limits provided by MindMeister… or, someone forgot to put 50p in the meter…
The website itself is ok, looks like it’s possibly account related…
…a few lectures down there’s another link;
They appear to be the same, and that has just started working for me, try again!
Rick must have had spare change!

Seems a bit slow though, and even zooming out doesn’t yield much.

Aha, the branches are all collapsed… if you are too zoomed out its really hard to see the expand icons… they are just at the bottom and on the right hand side of each branches name. Click that for additional detail.
Now it’s working … but slowly

Unfortunately the free version doesn’t let you do any form of exports, I did look to see if I could provide you with a large image when it worked but no go. The summary/list is ok from a high level perspective but obviously doesn’t include a lot of the lower level detail that Rick added I believe. Can only assume they are having some difficulties, although my own mind map via their service seems to be ok.
