I don't think basing it off of last_login will work, because they may
login and then stay logged in for 2 weeks or whatever you have your
cookie settings set to.
I have a piece of middleware that maintains a dictionary of username,
datetime key/value pairs in the cache. If the requesting user is
authenticated I update their timestamp in the dictionary. I then
iterate over the dictionary and delete entries that are older than
some threshold.
I then have a template tag that retrieves the dictionary from the
cache and displays the names.
