title: How Talk Works

|
||
|
||
Talk is an open-source commenting platform. It has two pieces. One is the
|
||
embedded script, which allows newsrooms to have a unique comments section on
|
||
each story/post/page they have on their site, and allows their readers to
|
||
comment and discuss articles. The other is the Admin, which is where newsrooms
|
||
moderate their comments and manage and configure Talk.
|
||
|
||
## Talk Core
|
||
|
||
As we’re building Talk, our vision was always to have it be very modular, so
|
||
there are features we have built and are opinionated about, but we allow
|
||
newsrooms and their developers to customize Talk easily so that it fits their
|
||
use cases and needs.
|
||
|
||
Talk Core is the core application of Talk - this contains all of the standard
|
||
commenting features that are necessary for a comment section, and ones that we
|
||
believe are important to be universal. If you would like to contribute to Talk,
|
||
be sure to check out our
|
||
[Contributor's Guide](https://github.com/coralproject/talk/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md){:target="_blank"}.
|
||
|
||
## Plugins
|
||
|
||
Plugins are additional functionality which are optional to use with Talk. You
|
||
can turn these on or off, depending on your specific needs. Plugins are either
|
||
part of our core plugins, which ship with Talk, or they are developed by 3rd
|
||
parties and either used privately and internally, or are open sourced for use
|
||
across the greater community. You can explore the plugins we offer by visiting our [Default Plugins]({{ "/default-plugins/" | relative_url}})
|
||
and [Additional Plugins]({{ "/additional-plugins/" | relative_url }}) pages.
|
||
|
||
## Recipes
|
||
|
||
Recipes are plugin templates that are created by the Talk team and 3rd party
|
||
developers, in order to help contributors and newsrooms build plugins easily.
|
||
You can explore the recipes we offer by visiting our [Plugin Recipes]({{ "/plugin-recipes/" | relative_url}})
|
||
page.
