Duplication of Effort

My local parish council uses a CMS I knocked up a few years back (at no cost to them). I'm constantly amazed that the office for Communities and Local Government don't provide free domain name registration and perhaps Joomla / Drupal / Plone / Whatever instances, or at the very least decent hosting for local town / parish councils. This would save them all spending public money endlessly re-inventing the wheel.

Oh, no wait - that's Big Bad Central Government. Top Down. Evil. Bollocks.
