Fine with me. I'll work on 1.7 until its released anyways and that should give 
me enough time to setup a kf5 toolchain.

Speaking of which, we will have to update our wiki HowToCompile page, and at 
least announce it also on our user lists, the planet and our website. There 
are, after all, a lot of people who build kdev* from master. Furthermore, I 
would appreciate it, if either of those who successfully built KDevelop 
frameworks can document that in every detail. Paste your kdesrc-buildrc and 
dependent included configuration files. Create a list of frameworks that 
KDevelop requires.

Also, I'm not sure how much master and 1.7 diverged. If there happened a lot, 
I vote for branching off master into a "legacy" branch just for people that 
stick to KDE 4 for now. Feature development will go to master/kf5 of course.

Finally, I want to know what our GSOC students think of this (CC'ed). Would it 
be OK for you to setup a KF5 toolchain and continue your work there? If not, I 
guess it would be fine if we go the "legacy" way proposed above, and you'll 
continue your work there. Once GSOC is over, we can merge/rebase it on 
frameworks.
