What am I supposed to do with bower_components folder?

Should I just host it? With all the sources and read-me's? Or should my build scripts selectively copy components from it into my /scripts folder?

You can use grunt or gulp and concatenate all the js files you want from bower_components. And just have a single include in your html. You don't need everything in the folders typically the files you want is the same name as the component. Sometimes located in a dist folder. I Would recommend not using minified while developing, because then it may be harder to debug

Are you use Grunt? If yes, it has [grunt-bower-task][1] which is able to selectively move the main required bower_components that configured in bower.json to your destination, so your dist folder, or whatever it called will be clean.

I suggest to use [Yeoman][2] instead, it's included Yo for scaffolding, bower for front end package management, and grunt for task runner. With pre-configured Gruntfile.js that most of Yeoman's generator does, it able to package your project to production mode that usually minified and/ or uglified your scripts, stylesheet, and also template/ *.html files.
