Use bundler?

GitHub recommends using bundler to set up the Jekyll environment to preview changes locally: https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-your-github-pages-site-locally-with-jekyll/#step-2-install-jekyll-using-bundler

Shouldn't we also use this system to ensure that there is no confusion for our users of which Jekyll version is needed, and that our locally previewed website use the same version as the one used by GitHub?

I think we was using bundler.

Not locally at least:

Last time that I try to install Jekyll on a Windows machine (my brother's machine) was 2014 or 2013. And was very hard. I don't know if this changed. At that time, I didn't install bundler. I'm OK to use it as long as we someone can assert how hard would be to install it on Windows.

OK, I'll look into it
