Any Advice on Moving From Octopress to Jekyll?

Next Tuesday I���m planning to take the day to do a little refresh on this site. The largest part of that effort will be moving this project off of Octopress to Jekyll. I���m not expecting it to be a huge challenge���Jekyll underpins Octopress anyway���but I���m sure there are some gotchas I should look out for. If you���ve made the leap yourself in the past and have any advice or recommended reading, please leave a comment or Web Mention.

In case you���re curious why I���m making the shift, it���s pretty simple:

Octopress development seems relatively stalled;
Octopress includes dependencies I don���t really need;
I���ve been writing a lot of Jekyll plugins and maintaining them without using them on the latest Jekyll is challenging;
I���m comfortable writing my own Rake commands; and
This is the big one: Incremental builds.

I���m hopeful this shift will make it easier for me to get content published more quickly and more reliably. I may even move my build processes into Travis CI to further offload the work. But I���m getting ahead of myself��� let���s see how Tuesday goes first.
