Saw this idea on reddit -) http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/i356p/its_about_time_for_an_open_source_bitcoin/

So what do you say, anyone want to write up an open source bitcoin currency exchange?

It seems Morpheus is working on this already, not only open source but p2p. https://github.com/macourtney/Dark-Exchange

It doesn't run yet and I've no idea how it works but I'm very much looking forward to it.

Heard of Britcoin?

The guy that made that has open-sourced the software, called intersango -> http://gitorious.org/intersango

The exchange part is easy. There are several. I think the first was implemented as a bot on IRC.

The hard part is being a clearing house (or an exchange plus a clearing house). This is also the most useful part.
