Abstract: Explicit constructions are given for idempotents that generate all projective indecomposable modules for certain finite-dimensional quotients of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $s\ell (2)$ in odd prime characteristic. The program is put in a general context, although constructions are only carried through in the case of $s\ell (2)$.
