Considering that Auto saving would be an ongoing feature, I would make it a visible button or indication in the interface. Something that you could click on to turn on or off and one who's icon could show how much time there is until the next autosave in a sort of small indicator countdown.
Obvious defaults in the settings interface, etc etc. for which to have for new documents.

Aditya, perhaps a great use of your time over the break would be to enable this feature and test it heavily looking for bugs or idiosyncracies, and send patches to make it more robust?
Maren, are there reasons why it's not been enabled by default in the master trunk? If so, those might be key things to focus testing/bugfixing work on. This will be an important feature for a lot of people and they'll be glad it's going to be available in 1.0.
Please, if something like that gets enabled by default, make sure to tell us users so we can turn it off. At least I make heavy use of editing files, exporting to PDF and then closing without saving. Autosave would destroy my work on a regular basis.
