Mark, I went ahead and added that wiki page. It can be found here : http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDOC21/Deployment+descriptor+changes+for+going+from+G+1.1+to+G+2.1
Please let me know if you see anything that you'd like changed or added. One thing I should note is that Geronimo 2.1 actually requires a general web application xmlns of http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1 rather than web-2.0 which is required for 2.0.
