Bug description:
Currently there is a block on the home page showing the users that have come online in the last 10 minutes.

The problems with this.
The list can be quite large and if your mahara site is running several institutions then users from other instituions will show as well.
Someone could be logged in for more than 10 minutes and they won't show.

It would be better to only show online users who are connected in some way to the user - eg friends or in a group they are a member of.

This is similar in concept to the groups block that shows on the home page where only groups that the logged in user is part of are shown.
