Tax'o'Menu

The module associates a menu entry with each taxonomy terms in a configurable vocabulary.
As callbacks, panel pages are used to display stuff (eg. nodes associated with the term).

The module is similar to taxonomy_menu in that it creates a menu from a set of taxonomy terms. As opposed to that module, the generated URLs do not carry the hierarchy information but are flat eg. panel-page/<term-id>.

Also, taxomenu does not contain a provision for node display but delegates this to a panel page. In that, it is a relative to the panels taxonomy module. But as opposed to that, taxonomy navigation happens outside the panel page in a standard menu.

As means of configuration, the module provides a setup page where the administrator can select the vocabulary, top-level term, target vocabulary and maximum level for the generated menu.

To make the module work, the file includes/menu.inc has to be patched with a simple patch that is provided with the module.

The module has been demonstrated at the FrOSCon conference in Sankt Augustin. There are slides of this presentation online.
