After a tremendous amount of dilemma, decided to start working with Drupal 6 primarily because of Views 2. :) But it looks like I really have to stick it out until more things fall into place, especially with me being a non-coder and all that.
That said, here is something I would really like to see in Views 2:

The 'Online' status of a user available as a filter.

Sure, there is the 'Who's online' block, but I would like to add additional info such as the user role, particularly for a publishing workflow where the users roles keep changing regularly - so it would be nice to see who's online, plus what their role is.

I understand this has been raised before, and the reply was that this feature was not available (yet?). Could I make one more request here for 'online status' as a filter. There are action triggers when users login and logout - so it would be great to see that status available to 'Views' as well.

I can think of a few cases where this would come in real handy. Making use of the 'last access' or 'last login' somehow doesn't seem to be as elegant as having a direct filter.

This is a perfectly good feature request. Not sure when I'll have a chance to get to it, though. Patches appreciated.

Just a friendly repeat of my earlier request...I understand there are always priorities... :)

Just an FYI-- in the meantime you can get something similar by adding a filter for "user: last access" and using something like "greater than or equal to" and "-5 minutes" or whatever time frame you want. It's not the same thing, but it's close.

the who's online filter does not work completely.

I can see who is online.

But if I choose "any" or "offline" it does not change. It just shows those who are online only.
