Name sounds very similar to ColdFusion on Wheels (though as pointed out in referenced previous article, seems to have no connection) http://cfwheels.org/

and the binary packaging format https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wheel/

I agree. The name is confusing with the new Python binary packaging format `wheel`.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

and is not being updated for past 6months, looks like author abandoned it.

Yes, and I am currently working on a mongoDB backend. So newest devel is in the mongoDB branch. (Last updated Feb 13.2013)

It looks nice but it's hard to trust a web framework with such a jumbled home page. I know it has absolutely nothing to do with the backend abilities of PoW but if you want people to make websites with your technology you should probably set the example with a really cool website. Sorry to be negative, I am not putting down the framework.

No problem, I just took the standard Bootstrap layout. But right, the red info box is a little heavy weight. But I like to point out that this is not meant to be production ready, yet.

Anyway I am not a Designer. I like my blog template, though ;)

Isn't this the same thing as TurboGears 1.x which came out six years ago? I remember it being a framework composed of best-of-breed libraries.

Of course the reliable foundation is important.

But my main point was to have a fluent workflow.

That's also why I want to add a mongoDB backend. (as well) I am also thinking of moving the Views completely to javascript (ejs would probably be my choice then).

That would result in a client Server Database szenario. Which looks pretty clean, at least to me.
