I think it might be better to ask the Jekyll folks whether they'd like to link to this from their setup page (which already includes a link to a (possibly outdated) Windows setup guide).

see this issue in jekyll repo.
jekyll's docs on windows it's outdated, unclear and not working.(pygments 0.5.2 not working correctly [need 0.5.0], need python version 2.X. jekylll and python 3 not working)
the portable version is good, but I need set the path every time compile css/js and docs.
if best solution is create one TODO in bootstrap repo for instructions of jekyll,I can create the instructions.
Link was the best and detailed documentation I found (and working).
I tested almost all the solutions found. to be totally clear the installation of jekyll

As a Windows user myself, I have found that setting up Jekyll is a pain in the ass... The instructions from that link are the right ones.

We already mention the character encoding problem—no need to duplicate it.

I'm inclined to agree with @cvrebert—this should be in the Jekyll docs. It's a much larger problem than Bootstrap. That said, if we can figure out a concise and consolidated way to say this in our readme, I'm all for it.

sounds good.
we can have a separate file with the 'instructions' (more like an TODO) for windows until jekyll update your documentation.

Personally I do the following before executing jekyll:

set LANG=en_EN.UTF-8

I have updated it with few comments from community and troubleshooting steps. I hope it will be of help to everyone.
