All --
Spellchecking is now available in the Aquamacs master branch using the
native OS X spellchecker and spelling panel.  The standard Cmd-; and Cmd-:
shortcuts work as for other Mac apps.  Native spellchecking is LaTeX-aware
(using the existing LaTeX parsing capabilities of flyspell).

The traditional emacs spellchecking interfaces, flyspell and ispell, are
still available as well.  Flyspell and ispell modes and functions are now
set to use the OS X spellchecker (NSSpellChecker) by default;
ispell-program-name can be set to "aspell" or "ispell" to specify one of
these more traditional spellcheckers instead.  (The improved cocoAspell
integration included in Aquamacs v1.4+ is now also in 2.x)

Please try out spellchecking in the next nightly build.  There is more
fine-tuning to be done, and comments and suggestions are welcome.  Are there
additional functions or capabilities that should be accessible via the
Edit-->Spelling menu?

Cheers,
Nathaniel
