We could use mw.notify here, but it might get annoying after a while...
http://drafts.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page Someone will need to play around a bit with the extension and figure out the best notification implementation. Looking at how Google Docs or Microsoft Word do this may be helpful.
Actually, looking at the code again I think this might already be fixed. After a save is done, self.setState( 'saved' ) is called, the button text will change to 'drafts-save-saved' (English: Saved), which should be a good enough visual queue.
