Updated designs for autosave and recent documents
The mockups were updated a while back and the design team as a whole think that this is a good direction to go in.

The updated design is intended to answer the questions in #19 (closed) and #16 (closed). It also addresses #4 (closed). In some respects the approach to autosave is more traditional than what we have so far; the advantage is that it allows the text editor to play a better role as a scratch pad, which I think is probably one of its key functions.
Sorry it's taken me so long to let you know about this.
