Mtgox stops trading for 12 hours
I'm curious how one writes software to link in as an exchange. I haven't read the Bitcoin code throughly, but I'm not sure if I understand how to initiate a transaction with the network. Is there anywhere that documents it well?

The usual method is interfacing with bitcoind via the JSON-RPC interface:

There's also bitcoinj:

They're using 3rd parties like Dwolla for that.

The Bitcoin application / daemon can be controlled via RPC calls, so I presume that's how they do it.
