The challenging spending challenge
The UK Government's has generated ideas that are unlikely to amuse the Welsh establishment.
Ministers say the idea behind the challenge - "your open invitation to contribute to the government's Spending Review" - is to rethink public services so they can do more for less.
The thrust of almost all the that tag Wales is that too much public money is spent west of Offa's Dyke, that devolution is expensive and free prescriptions are unaffordable.
There may be a consensus among the Welsh political establishment that Wales is under-funded by the Treasury, relative to England, but that view isn't shared by most of those who've registered their views on the website.
Fans of S4C worried by recent developments at the channel won't be amused by ratings given to theof ending all public funding for what is described as "the most expensive channel per viewer".
Contrary views have yet to get much of an airing on a site where visitors can rate ideas before Ministers decide which to adopt. Perhaps the site has yet to register on the radar of Welsh voters - or the crachach are on holiday.
