There were only two online sources when I saw it, probably more will be available later, or at least, it would be nice. :’)

The detailed measurements of skull and mandible coupled with multivariate statistics is the ideal way of dealing with this. You take a lot of the subjectivity out of the process, and sometimes come up with unexpected results. (I did a lot of this in grad school, but with prehistoric rather than paleontological specimens.)
