New Shadowrun 5 Sheet Overhaul

I've created a new version of the Shadowrun 5e character sheet that I've been using for months now with my players. This version of the sheet is fundamentally based on the existing Shadowrun5e sheet in the repository, but it is vastly different. It utilizes a tabbed layout, a settings page, the ability to reference skills, gear, etc as variables. A lot of changes. I want to make my sheet available to the Roll20 community, but I am not sure whether or not I should create a new sheet or modify the existing one on GitHub. It is a largely different sheet and very feature-rich making it quite large.

If you're the author of the original one, I'd say just update that; if the update would break a bunch of stuff for existing people, you may want to give them a heads up and time to back things up (or create an api script that could fix things like the Mark, the 5e Shaped author, generally does). If you are not the original author, you may want to reach out to them and see what they would like to do. If they don't want to overwrite their stuff with what you've done, I say submit a new character sheet to github. Just my personal opinion. :)
I'm trying to figure out how to contact the author of the sheet, and I can't seem to find a way to do that. Any suggestions? I'm trying to find the original author of the Shadowrun5e character sheet.

One sheet (Shadowrun5e-Gerdofal) is authored by Chad And the other sheet (Shadowrun5e) is authored by Neirin D., JoeIngledew, but I was unable to find them on Roll20 (at least not under those user names).
This seems to be the author of the original sheet.

If you're the author of the Shadowrun 5e Sheet...can you explain it somehow? The Wiki isn't helpful at all...and if I compare it to the original character sheet on the SR5e book (p. 479), there a quite a few differences. Some questions from an SR5e beginner: - for what is i.e. body base and total? In which one do I put my attribute? - There is a testroll button on top. What is the purpose of this button? I'fe filled everything from my character, but the button sends the same content everyime.

Still pretty inactive around here at the moment so can just add this: Riley is probably still the one responsible for the sheets on the backend and one would need to contact him for a second Shadowrun sheet in the dropdown. Other than that: Chad did a fantastic job with his sheet and is way more qualified to talk about anything related to that at this point. For Shuro: Base is the attribute you raised it to without any modifications from Cyberware / Magic / Stuff, total is your Base + Stuff Testroll: More a debug thing, shows all the names of the different fields that get used in the roll template and probably will not get used in game, so just use the other green buttons for rolling / the quick roll function if you want to not use any of the other buttons or an Edge roll
