See my teams has about 20students on it, I would say 10 actually do work, we have 1 web designer while when we get new students the others encourage the new students NOT to do web site design. The web designer is also the lead scout (3-5 people do this and some are forced because they do nothing else) and the scouting program is created by the web designer and one other person, so if there are teams out there like mine, most will probably create a CMS system and try to keep it updated, I went full hand code and wont update until I finish some other projects, I made it so that it wont have to updated until next year or a big event comes along, and when that happens 1 document updates everything I need.

So like it was said before, it depends on the team, and it definitely depends on who is doing the work, because some teams are just starting and know a lot and some may not and then their are veterans that might even use webs.com for their website because they have no one interested in the website.
