I wouldn't expect it to support everything that a full weechat client could do or display all buffers.. just a kind of thin layer with the basic buffer access that relay allows access to, which would be more complete / consistent than say using irc relays (especially for things like PMs).

Thinking further about this could already be implemented as a protocol plugin like the jabber script perhaps I'll look into doing this..

Thanks for the ideas and I'll check out the layouts feature!

It is not planned (for now) to add client support for relay/weechat protocol in WeeChat, because this protocol is not designed for that. It is designed for a remote interface, so only for display. Many things would be missing to have a real client like WeeChat use this protocol. Moreover, relay is a plugin (not part of weechat core), so using it to view all buffers of a remote weechat is not possible.

Here are some other solutions:

1) use relay/irc (irc proxy) to share your irc connections with another weechat (now with devel version you can use one port for sharing all servers)

2) use an existing client (like QWeeChat, weechat-android, weechat.el, ...)

3) write a curses interface using relay/weechat protocol (if you need something in terminal)

Last thing, in devel version, multiple layouts are now supported (you can create many layouts with different name, and easily switch between them).

It would be great if Weechat itself could be a remote client for the weechat protocol.  I use Weechat on a VPS that is the other side of the world for me and such get sub-optimal latency and what better interface would fit the bill better than Weechat itself running locally? 

It could also open up some other not as pressing possibilities like running multiple Weechat clients for the purpose of having different buffer split layouts for each.
