Based on what I read from the following post, it leads me to believe some people are alpa/beta testing the enhanced edition, is this the case?
From the post: "Dozens of volunteers from all over the world helped us improve game play, squash bugs, and generally fine-tune the game."

If you want to know what it's like to beta test BG:EE take a look in the Bugs and Fixed topics. You'll see a lot of conversation about what people are testing and how they fixed the issues.

I just finished Nashkell mines 20 times in a row using different spell/race/class combination, no bugs showed up, all dialogs seem to be working, no undefined strings left, let me check my next assignment.
hmmm Mellicamp quest have to test all the success and failure conditions, let me make a list not to forget anything.... Have to try with skull and without, hmmm must fail, must succeed, how many dialog options? Have to test them...
But close?
When you beta test software, it's usually more laid-back, "report bugs if you find any", but otherwise just enjoy the game and let the developers know what your impressions are. I think that where the beta team changed here was that a lot of the beta testers are also modders, which means that they understand a lot of the code behind the game and know how to fix some of the smaller issues, and that those of us who aren't modders were brought into the process early enough that we were able to come up with a kind of system for operation.
But yeah, it's kind of like a second job you do for free. There's no one tracking your hours, but the work needs to get done one way or another.
