IOS – How to set up iCloud for a family

What is the right way to set up iCloud for a family? Assume that I want to share iTunes store account, have separate mail, contacts, bookmarks and notes, but have the possibility of sharing calendars and reminders, and have all devices appear under one ID for Find My iPhone. It would be nice to share data as well, so that I only need to add space on one account for backups. Is this possible?

If not, what is the best way to set up for a family with, at a minimum, shared iTunes account for purchases?
